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.
Try the following as your last name, in this order:
- Your NUS-ID e.g. citabc or e0123456
- Your NUS email address
- Your friendly-mail alias
- Everything after the first word in your name as in your staff or matriculation card. Example:
- IVLE/LumiNUS/Canvas Display Name: Tan Ah Kow
- First name in Turnitin is: Tan
- Last name in Turnitin is: Ah Kow
You may have to try several variations to retrieve your Turnitin password
If you have tried all possible variations of your name and you have a friendly-mail email, try the friendly-mail instead.
