A recent thesis or dissertation may be used for guidance, especially in disciplines like mathematics, which have special formatting problems. However, be aware that they may contain mistakes. Candidates are responsible for consulting with the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School regarding University requirements on preparation of the thesis or dissertation and on deadlines for submission.

Students should be advised that they are responsible for binding of any additional copies that they desire. The Graduate School cannot arrange for the binding of additional copies.
