Thesis Help 2024-25

The contents of your thesis must follow the order below. Required sections are indicated in bold.

• Title Page (Required)
• Approval Page (Required)
• Acknowledgments / Preface
• List of Abbreviations
• Table of Contents (Required)
• List of Tables/Figures/Spectra
• Abstract (Required, except for Creative Writing)
• Dedication
• Major body of text (Required)
• Glossary
• Appendix
• Endnotes
• Bibliography / References (Required)
• Index

While the template should take care of this, it is also good to check that each main section of the thesis starts on an ODD numbered page. This refers to all of the sections listed above; sub-chapters (e.g. 1.2) do not need to start on their own pages.

What this means is that there may be single blank (white) pages in your thesis to ensure that each section starts on an odd-numbered page. If there is more than one consecutive blank page (more than one in a row), there is a formatting mistake.
