Staff members in the Admissions and Enrolled Students area of The Graduate School are available to assist you in preparing and submitting your thesis or dissertation. You are encouraged to visit the Admissions and Enrolled Students Contacts website and contact Graduate School staff if you have questions about these guidelines. This Guide is not meant to be an exhaustive manual. For specific questions of style, consult the most recent edition of the style manual used in your disciplinary field (e.g., Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations; The MLA Style Manual; or the American Psychological Association (APA) Style Manual). When using a style manual, follow the specifications for published documents, but do not include typesetting notations often used when submitting manuscripts to a publisher. For assistance with style manuals, consult the following library resource site, or visit a campus library or the Writing Center. For assistance formatting your document in Microsoft Word, visit the Microsoft Office support site and search online for various elements, such as customized table of contents, section breaks, and footnotes. For assistance formatting your document in LaTeX, you may want to visit this LaTeX resource site, or review this tutorial guide for text formatting. There may also be formatting workshops offered through The Graduate School’s Professional Development program. Please note that The Graduate School does not offer technical support for Microsoft Word, LaTeX, or other word processing programs that students may use. It is each student’s responsibility to ensure that his or her document is formatted appropriately according to the requirements set forth in this Guide. Pay careful attention to spelling, punctuation, and grammar in your thesis or dissertation, as your work will be available for others to access online. The Graduate School will not review your thesis or dissertation for proofreading and editing purposes. The Graduate School will check your thesis or dissertation for proper formatting only. Please note that the work in your thesis or dissertation must be your own. Consult the Honor Code or the Graduate School Handbook if you have questions about plagiarism. See Section IV of this Guide for information on Copyright. If there is a discrepancy in formatting between a style manual and this Guide, the regulations set forth in this Guide take precedence. Please do not use another thesis or dissertation as a model for your work since a particular style or example in a previous year may not meet current guidelines. Also, certain commonly used software packages may require format modifications in order to comply with current guidelines. It is your responsibility to ensure that your thesis or dissertation is formatted correctly before you submit it to The Graduate School. 4 THESIS AND DISSERTATION GUIDE I. ORDER AND COMPONENTS Please see the sample thesis or dissertation pages throughout and at the end of this document for illustrations. The following order is required for components of your thesis or dissertation: 1. Title Page 2. Copyright Page 3. Abstract 4. Dedication, Acknowledgements, and Preface (each optional) 5. Table of Contents, with page numbers 6. List of Tables, List of Figures, or List of Illustrations, with titles and page numbers (if applicable) 7. List of Abbreviations (if applicable) 8. List of Symbols (if applicable) 9. Chapters, including: - Introduction, if any - Main body, with consistent subheadings as appropriate 10. Appendices (if applicable) 11. Endnotes (if applicable) 12. References (see section on References for options) Many of the components following the title and copyright pages have required headings and formatting guidelines, which are described in the following sections. Please consult the Sample Pages to compare your document to the requirements. A Checklist is provided to assist you in ensuring your thesis or dissertation meets all formatting guidelines. 5 TITLE PAGE The title page of a thesis or dissertation must include the following information: 1. The title of the thesis or dissertation in all capital letters and centered 2” below the top of the page. 2. Your name, centered 1” below the title. Do not include titles, degrees, or identifiers. The name you use here does not need to exactly match the name on your university records, but we recommend considering how you will want your name to appear in professional publications in the future. 3. The following statement, centered, 1” below your name: “A [ dissertation or thesis ] submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of [ insert degree ] in the [ insert department or program name ] in the [ named school ].” End this statement with a period. Notes on this statement: • When indicating your degree in the second bracketed space, use the full degree name (i.e., Doctor of Philosophy, not Ph.D. or PHD; Master of Public Health, not M.P.H. or MPH; Master of Social Work, not M.S.W. or MSW). • List your department, school, or curriculum rather than your subject area or specialty discipline in the third bracketed space. You may include your subject area or specialty discipline in parentheses (i.e., Department of Romance Languages (French); School of Pharmacy (Molecular Pharmaceutics); School of Education (School Psychology); or similar official area). • If you wish to include both your department and school names, list the school at the end of the statement (i.e., Department of Pharmacology in the School of Medicine). 6 • Complete examples: - A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Public Policy. - A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the School of Dentistry (Endodontics). - A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. - A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Education (Cultural Studies and Literacies). 4. The words “Chapel Hill” must be centered 1” below the statement. 5. One single-spaced line below that, center the year in which your committee approves the completed thesis or dissertation. This need not be the year you graduate. 6. Approximately 2/3 of the way across the page on the right-hand side of the page, 1” below the year, include the phrase “Approved by:” (with colon) followed by each faculty member’s name on subsequent double-spaced lines. Do not include titles such as Professor, Doctor, Dr., PhD, or any identifiers such as “chair” or “advisor” before or after any names. Line up the first letter of each name on the left under the “A” in the “Approved by:” line. If a name is too long to fit on one line, move this entire section of text slightly to the left so that formatting can be maintained. 7. No signatures, signature lines, or page numbers should be included on the title page. 7 COPYRIGHT PAGE Include a copyright page with the following information single-spaced and centered 2” above the bottom of the page: © Year Author’s Full Name (as it appears on the title page) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This page immediately follows the title page. It should be numbered with the lower case Roman numeral ii centered with a 1/2” margin from the bottom edge. Inclusion of this page offers you, as the author, additional protection against copyright infringement as it eliminates any question of authorship and copyright ownership. You do not need to file for copyright in order to include this statement in uploads/s3/ etd-guide-2013.pdf
