1. Check on the calendar the deadline for submitting documentation for the next meeting.

Read carefully the documentation to be submitted as indicated on the forms and sign the required documentation. In the case of thesis/TFM/TFG, all documentation must be signed by both the director and/or tutor and the student. In the case of TFM and TFG, a letter signed by the tutor and the student stating that the project or work respects the ethical standards developed by the CBUB is required.

   3.a.  If the documentation is correct, see point 4.
   3.b.  If documentation is missing, the Technical Secretary would request further information.
