ETD Checklist — Before Submitting Your Manuscript
This is for your reference use only; don’t turn it in with your manuscript. By ensuring that your manuscript conforms
to the items below, you’ll greatly increase the odds that your submission will require only one review.
If you would like more detailed information on manuscript formatting, please refer to the formatting
instructions in Your Clemson University Thesis or Dissertation: Guidelines, Tips & Tools. Brief formatting info appears
at https://www.clemson.edu/graduate/students/theses-and-dissertations/format.html

£
There is no visible page number on my title page.

the ceremony).
£
The words “of,” “the” and “by” are lowercase (except where they appear in the title).
£
Each section of text is single-spaced, with a double space separated by a horizontal rule between sections.

£
There is a lowercase Roman numeral page number “ii” centered at the bottom of this page.
