Page numbers should be centered on the bottom of the page.
Pages before the start of your text—such as title page, acknowledgements, and table of contents—are numbered with small Roman numerals, such as i, ii, ii, iv, etc. The title page is number i, but do not print any numeral on this page or on the acknowledgments page, if included. Subsequent pages, such as the table of contents, would be numbered ii or iii.
The first page of your thesis text is number 1, but do not print any number on this page. The page numbers would appear on the second and subsequent pages of the thesis.
The pages of the bibliography and any appendices should continue the Arabic numbering of the thesis text itself.
