Step Two: Submit Drafts for Review
The Thesis Development System (TDS) is a simple online file management and distribution tool. To access the TDS, log in at https://www.unb.ca/tdsv2/. TDS is also available under the ETD tab in My UNB e-Services.
The TDS is a service designed to allow students and reviewers to electronically manage all or part of the writing and reviewing process of a thesis or dissertation. Space on UNB servers has been allocated for graduate students to store thesis notes, draft chapters, and multimedia components of their work.
Making the review process easier for you
The TDS offers students flexibility that traditional methods of thesis review do not. These include:
- Ability to provide your supervisor with the review method of choice - electronic or paper. Your supervisor/review may download and edit your thesis and reupload your file under a different version name.
- Students have complete control over who accesses their thesis, the level of access, and when that access takes place.
- Perfect for students with large files and for those working remotely.
- Access to thesis drafts from any computer with Internet access, for both students and reviewers.
- Easy-to-use storage space for thesis or dissertation files, which are backed up nightly to protect the integrity of the student's work.
Who has access?
The TDS is available to all UNB graduate students and you must have a UNB pin to access it. All students and staff are given an UNB PIN. If you do not have one, please contact your Faculty Administrator.
Information on obtaining a Guest account is available at the ITS Website
