Allowing Re-submissions AFTER the Due Date
Turnitin Direct does not have a built-in setting to allow re-submission after the due date.
Students can submit late, but they cannot re-submit.
But the following work-around solution will allow you to have students do this AND keep a record of their original submission with the original similarity report (also known as an originality report).
Note: the new similarity report will likely say the new submission matches the original submission, since the two submissions are likely to be very identical.
