Computing & Information Technology - Wayne State University

Dear Wayne State faculty, 

Please remember that Unicheck will no longer be available on Friday, Oct. 25, as the tool has been retired by the vendor, and Wayne State is migrating plagiarism review to Turnitin Similarity.

Update your course before Oct. 25

Your action is required to retain assignment settings and reports as we migrate to Turnitin.

  • Unicheck reports for past assignments can be exported by students and faculty before this change. Unicheck reports will not be available to view or download after this migration. Please share this information with your students as appropriate.
  • Any current assignments created with Unicheck as the plagiarism review tool need to be edited by the instructor to use Turnitin Similarity before this change.
  • Assignments that are not edited to use Turnitin Similarity and still have Unicheck as the chosen plagiarism review tool will default to no plagiarism review after this change.

Register for training

All faculty are invited to join a 60-minute virtual training session with Turnitin on Monday, Oct. 28, at 3 p.m. Registration is required for attendance and a recording will be made available after the session.

Training will cover key topics to enhance your use of Turnitin Similarity, including:

  • How to distinguish plagiarism from text similarity
  • How to interpret the Similarity Report
  • How to optimize key Turnitin settings in your Canvas course
  • Best practices and additional resources to help you get the most out of Turnitin
Register for training

Additional resources and information about this project are available on our website. 

We know you rely on tools like plagiarism review to best serve your students and our staff is here to support you through this change. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
