Note: Students will receive a digital receipt containing a paper id both on screen and in e-mail for every successful submission. If the student  does not receive a digital receipt for a submission, the submission was not successful.  Since Turnitin’s  automated messages may often times be  filtered out as spam, they encourage students to print their receipt, as proof,   once the submission  has been made.

This video tutorial (submitting a paper) will take you through the entire process a student  goes through when making a submission.
