Before You Begin

iThenticate access is not granted to everyone. Graduate Students and Faculty/Staff/Student Employees may get access if they satisfy the conditions below:

  • Faculty / Staff / Student Employees: must have current appointments (with an active W-group in D6501)
  • Graduate Students: must be enrolled in current semesters (or enrolled for the Fall during Summer periods)
  • All other users: access will not be provided

iThenticate is similar to, but not the same as Turnitin. iThenticate is used to self-check your work. Turnitin is used to compare submitted coursework against known sources. A more complete comparison is available on help.d2l.msu.edu.
