The instructions below are only valid after December 2016 when NUSNET login to Turnitin is disabled.
If you have been using IVLE to log in to Turnitin, you have a separate Turnitin account, not connected to your NUSNET ID and password.
This Turnitin account has a dormant password.
You will have to reset your Turnitin password at the Turnitin website.
- Go to turnitin.com
- Click Login.
- Click Reset Password.
- You need to provide your NUS email address and your last name.
- Unfortunately, as your last name is system-assigned, your actual last name likely does not tally with the last name in Turnitin's records.
- In most cases, Turnitin takes your name as in your matriculation card in order of first word in your name as first name, then all following names as the last name.
Examples:
