Yes. The EIU license with Turnitin specifies a privacy pledge in accordance with FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The U.S. Department of Education’s FERPA Regulations give the requirements on the confidentiality of student records and information. If you are concerned about student privacy, you may use aliases for actual student names when submitting papers for review by Turnitin. Aliases are and additional optional measure to ensure student privacy. The paper will not be released without author or instructor permission.
