Copyleaks

Introduction

Copyleaks, a plagiarism detection and writing support tool, is designed to enhance the experiences of both faculty and students by offering an intuitive, robust, and feature-rich platform for academic integrity and skill development.

We’re currently running both Copyleaks and Turnitin simultaneously. Starting Winter 2026, we’ll consolidate Copyleaks as our sole plagiarism detection tool.
