6. PREPARATION OF FINAL COPIES OF THE INTERNSHIP REPORT

6.1. NUMBER OF COPIES Each candidate shall submit the two (2) original and signed, bound (you may have them bound at a local copy shop), copies of his/her Internship Report to the Internship Coordinator Office. The original will be distributed as follows: Original 1: Internship Coordinator Original 2: Internship Advisor (Employed Organization)

6.2. PAPER
The original Internship Report must be printed on standard size, white, 8-1/2 x 11 inches, un punched, non-glossy, non-textured acid-free paper of twenty (20) pound weight, 100% rag content. The two (2) copies must be clean photocopies on at least 20% rag content, acid-free paper. (Your internship report will be on file for a time that may stretch into hundreds of years, and acid-free paper is essential to prevent premature deterioration.) Only one side of the paper may be used. Erasable bond types of paper are not permitted. The paper must be of the appropriate grade, acid-free, plain white, with no ragged edges. A laser printer is recommended. No particular choice of font or typeface is mandated (Times New Roman, Preferable); or any clearly legible font that is not ornate or fancy, in a size between 10 and 12 points, is acceptable. However, fonts should not be mixed inappropriately. Consistency of the font is vital. 6.4. CORRECTIONS Make corrections with the greatest care. 6.5. SPACING Use 1.5 spacing throughout except in footnotes, indented quotations set off from the text, bibliography entries of more than one line, and materials such as captions or tables and appendices of data.

6.6. MARGINS Every page of the internship report must be kept within margins set as follows: A minimum margin of 1-1/2 inches (for binding purposes) on the left side of the page; 1 inch at the right side; 1-1/4 inches at the top and bottom of the page. Any page submitted with less than the minimum Margins will be rejected. 6.7. JUSTIFICATION AND HYPHENATION The internship report will have a straight-line left margin and a ragged right margin, with no word of the text less than one inch from the right edge of the paper, nor even a single letter of a word. The right margin may be justified (straight) if this improves appearance and legibility. Each paragraph must be indented five (5) spaces. Do not end a line of a page with a hyphen. 6.8. PAGINATION All pages except the title page, copyright page, and abstract page are numbered. This includes full page photographs, charts and graphs, the bibliography, and appendices. For the preliminary pages, use small Roman numerals (ii, iii, etc.). Page i is the title page, but the page number is not printed on this page. Page ii is the copyright page or a blank page (showing no page number) if you are not copyrighting your work. The Table of Contents follows the copyright page (or blank page if you are not copyrighting) and is numbered with the page number(s) displayed. The abstract follows and is numbered, but the page number(s) will not be displayed. The first item on the Table of Contents list will be the Abstract. This will be followed by any dedication or acknowledgment section you may wish to include. This is numbered in the small Roman series, with the page numbers displayed. The remainder of the internship report is Numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, etc.). The page numbers that are displayed must be centered at the bottom of each page, within the bottom margin. Note that no words, punctuation, or diacritics of any kind accompany the page number: it says 4, not -4- or 4. or Page 4. 6.9.
