Similarity check
Dear TurnItIn,
How can I avoid a similarity check on the preliminary pages? Especially when we are running theses and dissertations, the preliminary pages have very similar information - the name of the university, names of degrees, declarations, tables of contents and such. How can we run Turnitin without taking these sections into consideration?

Augustine Gitonga , I found out that your institution is using Turnitin Feedback Studio. So, you may try and use assignment template exclusion by following these guidelines: https://help.turnitin.com/feedback-studio/turnitin-website/instructor/similarity-report-exclusions/excluding-assignment-templates.htm. Alternatively, you can omit individual matches inside each online report. These are all the options currently being available to our users. Hope it helps
