Please note: MSU Denver has switched to Turnitin as its plagiarism detection tool. View our Use Turnitin to Check for Plagiarism tutorial for more information.
Unicheck, the plagiarism detection tool integrated into Canvas, is now part of the Turnitin family and will no longer be available after December 31, 2024. After this date, all access to Unicheck will end, and any associated data, including Similarity Reports, will be permanently deleted. If you or your students have used Unicheck for assignments, it is important to download and save any reports you wish to retain before this deadline. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions to help you access and export these reports, ensuring you can preserve important documentation before Unicheck is retired.
