CHAPTER TITLE

CHAPTER HEADING FIRST LEVEL

SECOND LEVEL SUBHEADING

Text should begin at the left margin, i.e., the first line of the first paragraph in a
section is not indented. The body of the text must be fully justified. The line spacing
of the basic text should be set at 2.0 (double spacing). This includes line-to-line,
paragraph to paragraph, text-to-numbered list, sentences within numbered lists, and
subheading to text.
The first paragraph of a section need not be indented. However, the first
sentence of all proceeding paragraphs should be indented 12millimetres. Use the tab
key for consistency.
However, between the last paragraph of a section and a next level subsequent
subheading, there should be three spaces (3.0).

Third Level Subheading

In a summary, this is how you use the style when you are preparing your thesis. Use
Body text 1 in the first paragraph.
The second and subsequent paragraphs, you use Body text 2. The main
difference with Body text 1 is that, it has an indention at the beginning of the
paragraph.
For final paragraph, use Body text 3. This style has been made to give 3
single line spaces before the next heading.

Fourth Level Subheading

In a summary, this is how you use the style when you are preparing your thesis. Use
Body text 1 in the first paragraph.
The second and subsequent paragraphs, you use Body text 2. The main
difference with Body text 1 is that, it has an indention at the beginning of the
paragraph.
For final paragraph, use Body text 3. This style has been made to give 3
single line spaces before the next heading.

Fifth Level Subheading

Subheadings are up to four levels: level 2 (Heading 2) to level 5 (Heading 5). All font
size except for the font size for chapter headings is 12pt while Heading 1 is 14pt.
A heading that appears as a last line on a page will not be accepted. As a rule of
thumb, there should be a minimum of two lines under the heading.

BULLET OR NUMBERED TEXTS

For bulleted material, students should place the bullets/numbers indented 12mm from
the left margin. The space between bullet/number and the text should also be adjusted
to 8mms.

For consistency adjustment, you could also choose to do this manually. Do not
forget to restart count for different items.

TABLE SPECIFICATIONS
All text references to a table of the text should be by number, for examples:
i

The percentages in table 5.4 illustrate the margin of errors.

ii

A majority of voters were absent during election (see table 5.4)

iii

Table 5.4 shows the rate increases steadily.

When a table is required to be placed beneath a paragraph, then the Body text

3 is to be used for that particular paragraph.
