Our Community Standards make it clear that we will not tolerate plagiarism of any kind!

Our Partnership with TurnItIn

Our vision is to create a community of students who can rely on each other for educational support. Academic integrity must be at the core of that community, so GradeGuru has joined forces with TurnItIn, the number one plagiarism prevention service for academic institutions.

All GradeGuru content is added to the TurnItIn database. As a result, if a student were to submit material from GradeGuru as their own for a course that uses TurnItIn, that material will be flagged as unoriginal. Thousands of college academics across the world already use TurnItIn with their students to safeguard against improper use of source materials.

By partnering with TurnItIn, GradeGuru has filled a need amongst university students for an ethical way to collaborate to achieve academic success.
