Preliminary Thesis Formatting Review
Get a Head Start on Your Thesis Formatting
The Graduate Studies Office now offers Preliminary 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 preliminary review, you can ensure your thesis is on the right track — saving time and reducing revisions when you submit for your official format review.
What to Expect
During your preliminary 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 official review
