What is SafeAssign?

SafeAssign is a plagiarism checking software available through BlackBoard.. It compares the text in a submitted document with published resources available to or harvested by the vendor. A report is generated that indicates when phrases, sentences, and larger text strings match materials in the SafeAssign database.  Careful review of the report is needed to determine if the writer of the submitted document has copied materials without providing correct attribution.

As a student you may be required to submit written assignments through this software. The report generated is generally available to the instructor.

You are also able to submit documents in a confidential manner using the "self-enrollment" option.
