The document must use two numeration systems: Roman numerals for the front matter/ preliminary pages, and Arabic numerals for the thesis body and thereafter through the end of the document. Each page must be counted in the numeration.
1st section: Front-matter (pages preceding the thesis body):
The first two pages in the front-matter are not physically numbered even though they must be accounted for in the numbering system: Title page (counted as page one) and Committee members page (counted as page two).
The remaining pages within the front-matter, beginning with the Declaration, must be physically numbered in Roman numerals, e.g. Declaration - page three (iii), Abstract - page four (iv), etc. View page by page details under 'Page order'.
2nd and 3rd section: Body of thesis and Back-matter:
Pages within the main body of the thesis must be physically numbered in Arabic numerals, beginning with one ("1") at the beginning of chapter 1/introduction, consecutively to the end of the thesis.
Do not begin new pagination sequences at the beginning of appendices. If appendices include material taken from other sources on which page numbers already appear (permission to reproduce this material having been received, if necessary), they must also carry numbers conforming to the pagination of the thesis or dissertation.
