How do I set up an extension for a Turnitin Assignment?

During the initial set up of a Turnitin assignment, you can allow submissions after the due date.

If a student has already made a submission prior to the deadline and needs to submit late, or has an agreed extension, their previously submitted paper will need to be removed from the submission area before they are able to submit again once the deadline has passed. This is because once the due date is reached, all submitted work is locked and re-submissions are not allowed.
