1. Turnitin will be used to verify the similarity of the master’s thesis:
   • The group responsible will be contacted to receive access to the Turnitin software;
   • The similarity test of the master’s thesis will be conducted using Turnitin without applying any filter;
   • If the similarity index exceeds 20% for valid reasons (e.g., bibliography, published article), filters are set with the scientific coordinator, and a similarity report is generated.
2. Students ensure timely access to the https://www.cs.ubbcluj.ro/apps/lucrari platform, including the coordinating professor’s name.

   • Between June 16-20, 2025, at 2:00 PM, the secretaries of the master’s committees will verify the master’s thesis, test its similarity using Turnitin without any filter, and send the resolution to the thesis coordinator.
   • Between June 20, 2025, 2:00 PM – June 24, 2025, 12:00 PM, thesis coordinators will give their approval for the defense; students whose theses have not received the teacher’s approval by this date/time will not be accepted for registration for the final exam.
