v Undergraduate Theses

Paper and Margins

The thesis must be in high quality print, double-spaced, on high quality 8 1/2 x 11 inch bond paper. (While not required, paper that meets Standard #Z3948 of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is recommended.)

Tip: Look for low-acid or acid-free paper, with some percentage of cotton content. Doctoral dissertations and masters theses must be printed on paper that is at least 25% cotton—you can use this as a guideline. Use white paper only!

There should be a one-inch margin at the top and bottom and at the left and right sides of the page. The right margin should not be justified (aligned) unless it can be done without leaving large gaps between words.
