contents We prove that every mod 2 integral cycle $T$ in a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ can be approximated in flat norm by a cycle which is a smooth submanifold $Σ$ of nearly the same area, up to a singular set of codimension 3; in addition, this estimate on the singular set can be refined depending on the codimension of the cycle. Moreover, if the mod 2 homology class $τ$ admits a smooth embedded representative, then $Σ$ can be chosen free of singularities. This article provides the unoriented version of the smooth approximation theorem for integral cycles.
