Turnitin Error When Entering Assignment Point Values

Issue

Instructor receives an error message "Sorry, we could not process your request, max-points  - Value must be an integer" after entering assignment point values. 

Environment

Turnitin

Cause

When creating assignments, Canvas allows for assignments to total a point value that is not a whole number (for example, 12.5). However, the Turnitin service does not allow these values. 

Resolution

When creating assignments, instructors must assign point values in the form of a whole number. 

For additional assistance, please contact Information Technology Services at 419-372-0999 or through chat.
