What You Need To Know
Formatting for Research Essay/Thesis:
The Resource Centre can provide information on formatting of a research essay or thesis. Please contact the Coordinator, Gen Mclean, for information or questions regarding formatting styles.
Research Essay and Thesis Binding Instructions:
It is mandatory that students provide NPSIA with the appropriate number of copies of their final defended, corrected and approved research essay/thesis, for binding. Final Grades are processed only after the final defended, corrected and approved research essay/thesis has been submitted for binding.
The appropriate copy paper must be used for binding purposes. An acid free or low acid paper with rag content will provide the maximum strength, durability and permanence required for the binding of your research essay or thesis. The copy paper used must be a No. 2 grade, 10m size, 8 1/2″ X 11″ paper (or the metric equivalent), and the copy paper must have a rag content of approximately 25% (Colonial Bond copy paper has been tested and found to be acid free, and to have a neutral pH). Paper of this quality will have the required opacity to prevent type from the following page showing through when filmed.
It is recommended that theses copies be duplicated by the university’s Graphic Services Department. The cost of all duplication is to be the responsibility of the student. Cost of duplication is approximately $50.00.
- Research Essays – 3 copies are required.
- Thesis -2 copies are required.
- Additional copies to be bound may be submitted at a cost of $15.00 for each additional copy.
Note: Bound copies will not be released until degree has been conferred.
