The following formatting guidelines should be followed when submitting a thesis:
- Three complete hard copies of the thesis should be turned in to the Dean?s office, and an additional copy should be submitted directly to the faculty mentor.
- The manuscript should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of 8 1/2-by-11-inch paper. Electronic submissions are not acceptable.
- The pages should be numbered.
- The cover sheet should include

- the phrase "A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Award of Honors in [Major Field], Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, [Semester and Year]."
- Notes and references may be given as footnotes, endnotes or in-text citations. However, notes - including the citation of electronic sources - must follow a consistent, recognized scholarly format appropriate for the field in which the thesis is written.
- The thesis must contain a full bibliography or list of references.
- Illustrations, maps, appendices or other materials may be included if they are essential to the argument advanced in the work, but materials taken from published sources must be fully cited.
- Thesis pages should be attached together using binder clips, envelopes, spiral binding or some other means.
