Reset your Turnitin password
- Go to the Turnitin login page.
- Click the Forgot your password link. (See note below regarding last name.)
- If the email and password match the details that Turnitin has on record, you will be sent an email with further instructions on resetting your password.
- If you get the wrong last name, refer to the note below.
You need to provide your NUS email address and your last name.
- The NUS Turnitin Administrator does not know nor has access to individual account information in Turnitin.
As your last name is system-assigned, your actual last name likely does not tally with the last name in your Turnitin account.
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.
