If the review result from the committee is “Acceptable with minor revision”, the Student should make all the recommended changes and submit a new version of the manuscript to the Supervisor within one month after receiving the review result. The Supervisor should verify that all the recommended changes have been made and then send a copy of the final version to the MScIS Administrative Assistant.
