Upgrade to iThenticate 2.0 Access to our current version of iThenticate will end, April 30, 2026

On April 30, the University of Kentucky's iThenticate software subscription will transition to iThenticate 2.0.

Please plan for 24 hours of downtime while our institution’s accounts, users and user groups, submissions, similarity reports, and folders are transferred to the new version. 

After April 30, our current version of iThenticate will be disabled, and all users will access past similarity reports and make future submissions via iThenticate 2.0.

You will receive a welcome email from "noreply@turnitin.com" inviting you to activate your new iThenticate 2.0 account once the migration is complete. You will have 7 days to log in using the link in the welcome email, to set a new password, and activate your new 2.0 account.

Please email us with any questions.

We appreciate your patience during this transition.
