Direct answer
Yes, you can check your Turnitin score with the submission ID on your digital receipt: that ID is the unique identifier Turnitin attaches to your paper, and your similarity and AI writing reports are filed under it in the assignment inbox. Whether you can open the report yourself depends on your instructor's settings, because many institutions keep similarity and AI reports hidden until grading is complete [1]. Either way, the submission ID is the reference you need when the report is released.
Where Do Students Find the Turnitin Submission ID Shown on Their Digital Receipt?
Every time you submit a paper, Turnitin issues a digital receipt that carries a unique submission ID for that exact upload. The receipt appears on the confirmation screen immediately and is also sent to your registered email, so you can always look it up later [2].
The submission ID is a long numeric string, and it is the same number that appears next to your paper in the assignment inbox. Because each upload gets a fresh ID, the number changes every time you resubmit, which matters when you are comparing versions of a draft [2].
That ID is also what your instructor uses to find your paper's reports on their side. The similarity percentage and the AI writing report are both attached to the submission, so the ID is effectively the address of your score inside the system [2].
Can Students View Their Own Turnitin Similarity and AI Writing Reports After Submitting?
Yes, in most cases students can open their own reports once the instructor enables report access. The similarity report is available from the assignment inbox, and Turnitin Draft Coach lets students run similarity checks on their own before submitting [3].
AI writing report visibility works the same way: when the instructor turns it on, students see the overall AI score together with the sentences that were flagged. When it is off, the report stays locked until the instructor releases it [3].
There is no public page where you can type in a submission ID and retrieve a score. The ID only works inside your university's Turnitin and LMS environment, so the reports live with your submission rather than in a standalone lookup tool [3].
If you cannot see your report, the fastest check is to confirm whether your instructor has enabled student access, and to watch for the report once marks are published [3].
How Can Students See the Same Turnitin AI and Similarity Report That Their Instructor Sees?
Your instructor's dashboard displays the same similarity percentage, the same matched sources, and the same AI writing indicators that you would see on your own copy of the report. Turnitin treats the AI score as an indicator rather than proof of misconduct, and it encourages instructors to share and discuss that report with students [4].
Because the numbers are estimates, Turnitin advises educators to talk through the AI report before making any decisions about a paper. If your report shows a high score, the flagged passages are the exact sentences to review and to be ready to explain [4].
The practical route is to ask your instructor to enable report visibility or to walk you through the report in a meeting. Transparent conversations about AI indicators are the norm Turnitin recommends, so requesting access is a reasonable and normal step [4].
Waiting for your instructor to release the official report is the standard route, but you do not have to submit blind. Before you send the next draft — or while you wait to see what your current submission will look like to your marker — turnitin0 shows you the exact Turnitin AI and similarity report format that instructors see, so you can check your score before it counts.

FAQ
Can I check my Turnitin similarity or AI score with just the submission ID?
The submission ID links your paper to its reports inside your university's Turnitin environment, but there is no public lookup page. Open the assignment inbox or your digital receipt, and the report appears under that ID once your instructor has enabled report access [1][2].
Why does my Turnitin AI score show as *%?
Turnitin displays any AI writing score below 20% as *% rather than a single-digit number such as 3% or 12%. The only explicit low numeric outcome students typically see is 0% [1].
Does the submission ID change if I resubmit?
Yes. Each submission generates a brand-new submission ID, and the similarity and AI reports are tied to that specific upload [2].
Can my instructor see my report before I can?
Yes. Instructors can restrict similarity and AI report visibility until they release the assignment, so they may see your reports while you still cannot [3][4].
What should I do if I think my Turnitin AI score is wrong?
Remember that Turnitin describes AI scores as indicators, not definitive proof of misconduct. Keep your drafts and notes, review the flagged sentences, and ask your instructor to discuss the report with you [4].
