How to submit a thesis to Moodle

Step 3: Click on your thesis course. Once inside the course review the information there and when ready click on 'Draft Thesis Submission' and submit a thesis draft - the document you have been working on which will result in your thesis. This will give you access to click on 'Thesis Submission (CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT) Turnitin Assignment 2'. Please read all the information carefully.

Step 4: Click on 'Submit Paper'. Fill your thesis title and name of your supervisor(s) under ‘Submission Title’ and click on the space provided to search and upload your thesis

Things to keep in mind:

  • You can resubmit your thesis and check your similarity score until the assignment's deadline. After the third resubmission there is a 24 hour delay on your similarity score
  • There is no ‘resubmit’ button, in order to resubmit, please just submit your paper again. There is also no ‘delete’ button
  • If you have submitted a draft but do not plan to submit the final version until the deadline, please contact Registrar Services so we can delete the draft, otherwise this will count as your final version
