Thesis Formatting Review

Get a Head Start on Your Thesis Formatting

The Graduate Studies Office now offers Formatting Reviews to help you prepare your thesis for official formatting approval.

This service is designed to give you early feedback and personalized guidance from our Graduate Student Assistants, who will walk you through the university’s formatting requirements and help you identify areas for improvement.  

By participating in a formatting review, you can ensure your thesis is on the right track — saving time and reducing revisions when you submit your final thesis for format approval.

How to Prepare before scheduling your thesis formatting review appointment

  • Please carefully read and follow the master's thesis formatting guidelines. The guidelines contain rules and steps necessary to ensure your paper meets university formatting standards. 

 

What to Expect

During your format review, a Graduate Student Assistant will:

  • Review your document for alignment with university formatting guidelines
  • Provide feedback on layout, margins, page numbering, headings, and other key formatting elements
  • Offer tips and resources to help you make necessary corrections before your final format review submission
