Can You Check Turnitin Before Final Thesis Submission?
Guys, I’m about to submit my thesis. My uni uses Turnitin, but I only get one final submission. If I have a high similarity score, I’m toast. Is there any way to access Turnitin for free to check it beforehand? I don't want to pay $50 for a single scan on some random site.

I totally understand the panic — one submission feels like walking a tightrope. Unfortunately, Turnitin isn’t available for individuals to use freely; access is controlled by institutions. Be careful with random sites charging for a “scan,” since many aren’t official partners. A better option is to ask your supervisor, department admin, or university writing center if they can run a draft check for you. Some libraries also help with pre-submission reviews. This guide on how to use turnitin for free explains realistic options and safer alternatives.
