What is the difference between an approval sheet and the Approval Ballot for Text and Oral Defense?
The approval sheet is a student-created form, formatted according to the guidelines outlined in the Formatting Manual for Theses and Dissertations: http://www.luc.edu/gradschool/forms/format.pdf. One copy of this form must accompany the final hard copy; another copy of this form must be submitted to the Graduate School for its records. Both copies must bear original signatures from the committee chair. The Approval Ballot for Text and Oral Defense can be found on the Graduate School’s website at http://www.luc.edu/gradschool/forms/ballotfortext.pdf. A signature from each committee member is required, although students with special situations can submit a Xerox copy of the signatures.
