Turnitin Project Site Instructions

Turnitin is a software application that allows you to check your research papers and dissertations electronically against all Internet and digitized documents to ensure adequate quoting, paraphrasing, and referencing. The software is now available to all GSEP students as a project site through Courses powered by Sakai, so you can now independently check your documents and prevent plagiarism.

 Grammarly@EDU

GSEP has purchased a license with Grammarly@EDU available to currently enrolled GSEP students. New students will receive a direct invitation sent to their Pepperdine email address by around the 3rd week of the term. To sign up, you must remove any previous Grammarly accounts. If your invitation link has expired or you did not receive one, contact gsep.writingsupport@pepperdine.edu to join GSEP's subscription service.
