Couple more weeks and I'll finally be free of TurnItIn π
Freeeeeeedom
Sadly your papers wonβt. You should demand that they be removed from the database.
You can do that? I'd think that you signed a waiver the first time you uploaded something. Along with agreeing to arbitrage and handing over your first born.
You can, but it's a bit complicated.
You have to file the request with your teachers/professors, or with the school itself if you're unsure of who handles administration for the site over there. They're the ones that have the actual power to submit a deletion request for you.
It can be rejected on the basis of your schools policy, or they may simply ignore it. There's other issues that could come up too. Your school might also have some form or specific way for you to request it since according to turnitin they're the ones who control the data.
So you'll be joining the job market? Good news is that you will be free of turnitin...
