Definitions:
Advisor approved draft – this is the draft that your advisor has deemed is ready to be given to the
other CNSA faculty.
Faculty approved draft – this is the draft that the CNSA faculty have read and have deemed it
ready to be sent to the outside committee member.
Please note that revisions are a natural part of the process at every step in the thesis process. Your committee members' jobs are to assist you in writing the best thesis possible.
