Approval Page:
The approval page carries two required signatures, those of the Thesis Adviser and of the Executive Officer (see sample approval page). The signatures must appear on the approval pages in all three copies of the thesis, although the pages in the second and third copies may be photocopied reproductions of the signed page in the first copy. Candidates are reminded that the paper requirement for the deposit copies applies to the approval page.
Corrections and Insertions:
Ink corrections, or white correction fluid are unacceptable on final deposit copies. Insertions between lines are unacceptable on final deposit copies. Ink insertions of symbols not appearing on a standard printer or typewriter must be done in permanent black ink. Footnotes: Footnotes should be single-spaced at the bottom of the appropriate page. If your discipline prefers, notes may be arranged as notes at the end of each chapter; in that case, each note should be single-spaced, with double-spacing between notes.
Illustrations, Charts, Photographs:
The illustrations may be originals or laser photo reproductions. All illustrations must be on paper meeting the minimum requirement, but heavier paper is recommended for mounting illustrations. Mount illustrations with permanent adhesive, not tape or rubber cement. The margin requirements must be observed. If the illustrations are large, have them reduced if possible. If folding is necessary, this must be done to fit within the required margins.
A complete set of photographs or laser photocopies is required for the archival copy of the thesis. Laser photocopies are acceptable for the other deposit copies. Graphs and tables must be sharp and clear using black ink when typing is not possible. All illustrative pages must be included in the consecutive numbering of pages.
Margins:
Margin on top, bottom, and right of the page are 1 inch minimum; left margin must be 1.5 inches minimum.
