The Graduate School is not to be held responsible for formatting changes when this document is

of Microsoft Word.
The Thesis and Dissertation Formatting Guide is the main document to which your
Thesis/Dissertation formatting should be based on, as well as what it will be reviewed by. Be sure
to check and recheck your formatting to match this Guide.
For general troubleshooting with Microsoft Word, please do not contact our office. Please contact
the Information Commons (IC) Representative within the University of the Pacific Main Library.
Margins have been adjusted to compensate for slight changes in printer “padding” of margins. Be
sure to check, with a ruler, your margins are correct as per the Guide on the printed page, not the
electronic document.
When using this template, choose and replace the appropriate titles throughout.
This document has active headings/heading styles as well as an automatic Table of Contents. For
more information or directions to add or apply, use Microsoft Word Help.
This page is to remain in the template but needs to be changed to a blank page. Be sure to remove
this writing and adjust the formatting to reflect the first blank page of your Thesis/Dissertation.
We recommend that each day you work on your thesis or dissertation, you save your document
under a brief name that ends with the current date. For example, "Ch One 24-Mar-2018", then
tomorrow, "Ch One 25-Mar-2018" You will have a chronological archive of your work in case
you make an inadvertent change or even lose the file on which you are currently working. It’s well
worth the expense of buying removable media such flash drives, clouds or CDs. It’s also a good
idea to have copies in multiple places. Keep one in your bag, one in your drawer at home, and one
somewhere safe in your department. It takes a bit more time, but sensible backup procedures can
save you from a lot of heartbreak and many hours of lost time down the road.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My gratitude goes to Dr. Jerry W. Young for his hours of patience and guidance while I
struggled through the last three years of the Graduate School. His efforts to make me a
responsible scientist hopefully will be fruitful. Dr. Donald Beitz has been, and will
continue to be, an inspiration to me; I hope my career will be as successful as he has
already been.

Abstract
by Jane Q. Student
University of the Pacific2018
The abstract is a short description with sufficient detail to permit the reader to
decide if they want to read the entire thesis. Although it should not contain references, the
abstract should include an indication of the thesis statement, important methodology and
conclusions. The abstract can be more than one page, but must be under 350 words for
doctoral abstractions and 300 words for master’s abstracts (counting everything). For
theses from the Department of Psychology, one additional copy of the thesis is required
for Dissertations Abstracts International, which should be placed in the box with the
archival set of the dissertation and delivered to the Graduate School at the time of final
deposit.

APPENDIX A. DIRECTIONS FOR APPENDICES
Appendices contain ancillary material that adds to the main body of the text, but not
critical to the understanding of the contents. They should be in the same font and size as
the other portions of the thesis, although alternatives, if pre-approved by the Graduate
School, are permitted. Exceptions might be copies of forms used in gathering of
experimental data, informed consent documents, drawings of special equipment, and
examples of output generated by computer programs. Appendices should not include
material that has been published or can be referenced; e.g., photocopies of textbook
material, photographs, text, etc. The quality of anything that appears in an appendix
should be appropriate for publication.
Regardless of the material, the margin requirements (one inch for top, right, and bottom
margins; one and one-half inches for the left margin) must be maintained. If the
Appendix appears in landscape, rather than the portrait mode, the binding-edge margin of
one and one-half inches should be maintained.
The word “Appendix” and a title must appear at the top of the first page of each
appendix, centered on the line. If you have multiple appendices use the following label
format at the top of the first page of each appendix: Appendix A: Title, Appendix B:
Title, Appendix C: Title, etc. Each appendix should be listed in the Table of Contents
along with the title. Any Tables or Figures in the appendices must appear in the
appropriate List of Tables or List of Figures.
27
If the use of a two inch top margin on the first page of the appendix will interfere with the
formatting of the contents of that appendix, the use of a vertically centered title page as
the initial appendix page is allowed. This page would appear at the beginning of the
appendix, is paginated in sequence, and contains the correct appendix identifiers (see
sample, next page).
