M
2. For Landscape oriented pages:

T E
a. Top Margin must be 1.5 inches

b. Left, right and bottom must be 1 inch

2024-PhD Assistance All rights reserved
Ensure that only one space follows all periods.

Headings (Heading 4)

The appropriate headings must be consistent with the following:

1.Heading 1 – Centered, all caps, appearing 2 inches from the top

E
and beginning on a new page (NOTE: This heading requires a “Section

T
Break (Next Page)” on the page before in order for 2 inch space to
appear correctly)

A
2.Heading 2 – Centered, bold and title cased (Title case means that
the first letter of each word is capitalized, except for certain small

L
words, such as articles and short prepositions.)

P
3. Heading 3 – Left aligned, title cased and underlined

4. Heading 4 – Underlined, title cased and indented once

M
5.Heading 5 – Underlined, title cased and indented

E
T
twice Captions (Heading 4)

Captions are required for all figures and tables. Figure captions appear
below the figure and formatted in figure caption style and table
captions appear above the tables and formatted in table caption style.

Figure Formatting (Heading 2)¶

This is an example of what using a figure in your thesis/dissertation

would look like.
2024-PhD Assistance All rights reserved
It’s important that you label and caption your figure. You can label
your figure by chronological order or by which chapter it appears in.
The figure caption needs to be centered, bolded, and should appear on
the same page as the figure. The label and caption need to match the
figure captions in the LIST OF FIGURES.

E
AT
P L
Figure 1.1 Points Scored by Each Team
Figures differ from pictures in that figures should be an informative

M
illustration that helps clarify certain aspects of your document. If you
are referring to numbers or results of an experiment, the figure should

E
back those claims up. Figures are not a replacement for written text,
they should merely be a visual that helps emphasize the argument you

T
are making.
CHAPTER TWO: CHAPTER TITLE
Here is an example of including an image within your text. Images
should be centered on the page, accompanied by a centered and
bolded caption. Within this text, you can discuss the significance of
the image in relation to your work. For instance, in Picture 1, this
might depict you following the completion and submission of your
thesis or dissertation. Ensure that the label and caption of the image
correspond accurately with the LIST OF FIGURES. ¶

CHAPTER THREE: CHAPTER TITLE (Heading 1)
Table Formatting (Heading 2)

P
Tables should be left-aligned. Each table must include a clear and
concise header that informs the reader about its content and how to

M
interpret it. Table cell content can be single-spaced for better
readability and clarity, rather than double-spaced.

E
Every table should have a caption placed above it. The caption must
be aligned left, bolded, and should match exactly with the captions

T
listed in the List of Tables. The numbering of table captions can vary,
either chronologically or based on the chapter and subsequent table
number within that chapter. For instance, the second table in the third
chapter of a thesis/dissertation could be labeled as "Table 3.2 Example
Table Caption."
Table Captions (Heading 3)
The table caption should be aligned left and bolded, placed above the
table to which it refers. The table caption must be left-aligned, bolded,
and positioned above the table it describes.

2024-PhD Assistance All rights reserved

It is essential that all table captions correspond exactly with those
listed in the List of Tables.
Table captions may be numbered chronologically or according to the
chapter and subsequent table number within that chapter. For
instance, the second table in the third chapter of a thesis/dissertation
could be labeled as "Table 3.2 Example Table Caption." The caption

E
should always appear on the same page as the table itself.
As shown in Table 1.1 below, this provides a basic illustration of a

T
typical table format. Some tables can be more intricate and extensive,
such as our example table, Table A.1, located several pages later. For

A
larger tables, it is recommended to use a landscape orientation for
better presentation.

T
Appendix Formatting (Heading 2)
In the Appendices section, ensure that Heading 2s have distinct names
to avoid inclusion in the Table of Contents.¶
Each appendix should provide additional information that enhances
reader understanding but isn't critical to the main paper. Start with a
title page that states "APPENDIX" followed by the corresponding
letter indicating the appendix number. Below this Heading 1 title, use a
single, clear Heading 2 to specify the content included in the appendix.

2024-PhD Assistance All rights reserved

In the Table of Contents, appendices will be listed based on their title
page pagination. If there is only one appendix, it will simply be titled
"APPENDIX." For multiple appendices, titles (Heading 1s) will be
designated as follows based on the number of appendices:
"APPENDIX A," "APPENDIX B," "APPENDIX C," and so on.
Table Captions in Appendices (Heading 3)
Table captions in the appendices should follow a specific numbering

E
format distinct from the rest of the document. Each table in the

T
appendices must be labeled with the corresponding appendix indicator
and the sequential table number within that appendix. For instance,

A
the third table in Appendix B would be identified as "Table B.3 Here Is
the Example Table Caption." This numbering convention is crucial for

L
readers to easily locate tables in the List of Tables and when referenced
within the document itself.
