Because of its importance, candidates must submit a preliminary, unsigned draft of the title page to The Graduate School along with a copy of thesis draft for review of format at least three weeks prior to the thesis deadline. Include your thesis director's name on the copy of the preliminary title page. Later, when turning in the thesis, the final, approved title page shall bear the thesis committee signatures in black ink before it is submitted to The Graduate School. Students are not responsible for obtaining The Graduate School Dean's signature. Spell check your title page for errors.
Arabic numerals are to be used to number the remaining pages of text, including the appendix.
See the page format diagram and page arrangement guidelines elsewhere in these guidelines. Footnotes shall be numbered consecutively throughout each chapter. A double space should be left between footnotes. If placed on the same page, a two inch line should separate the footnotes from the text. For the form of footnotes one of the published guides recommended in item 12 should be consulted.
