Individual departments may require you to use a particular style guide. Be sure to check with your
department. The style guide determines the format for:
the referencing system throughout the thesis/project,
the list of references at the end of your work (bibliography, works cited, etc.),
the formatting and labeling of all tables, and
the format for the captions for all figures.
All other format requirements which are set forth by the Graduate Studies office and are listed
in the handbook and take precendence over any departmental style guide, and must be followed by all
students regardless of discipline.
Check the lists below to see which style guide is preferred by your department and/or degree
program.
NOTE: Be aware that you should double-check with your department to make sure that the style guide
listed is the one they wish you to use in your thesis/project.
