Submit Your Assignment | Review Results
SafeAssign is a tool that students and instructors can use to check a document for plagiarism. The tool provides feedback as to whether or not the text in a document is a close match with other documents on the Internet, in journal databases, and submitted to Blackboard. This tool is intended to help students appropriately use and cite sources before submitting their final work for assessment. This is not a foolproof system for detecting plagiarism. Rather it is a tool to help students review their work with a critical eye.
