The Maine Community College System is in the middle of transitioning plagiarism detection tools. We are switching from TurnItIn (by Ouriginal, formerly known as Urkund) to CopyLeaks in July 2024. This page is a work in progress and being updated continually, please check back later for more comprehensive instructions.
