Obtain approvals from your sponsor, sub contractor (if applicable), field supervisor (if applicable) and others.

How to Obtain Approval and from Whom

• Once you have received feedback from your faculty sponsor, you should see a button labeled "It's Ready for Approval!" button show up in the Collect Feedback section of the ILC Portal. Click on the “It’s Ready for Approval!” button to start collecting approvals.
