Jeff,
Can you tell me who in Graduate Studies is rejecting them? Grad Studies has no say in the format of the body of the dissertation. Here is their policy:
Minimum Standards for Submitting Dissertations and Theses
BYU Graduate Studies does not dictate style standards for the chapters of a thesis or dissertation (e.g.,
line spacing and fonts).
Thesis and Dissertation Formatting Policy
BYU Graduate Studies requires that a title page, abstract, and table of contents be included in
each thesis and dissertation. The format of the title page must comply with University style standards
as communicated at gradstudies.byu.edu.
Formatting of the abstract and table of contents is at the discretion of the college's style standards. If
needed, default formatting guidelines for each of these pages, the thesis body, and sample documents
are available at gradstudies.byu.edu.
BYU Graduate Studies ETD Requirements
Formatting
To ensure that each thesis and dissertation is legible and accessible in printed and digital format,
BYU Graduate Studies requires:
• US Letter size pages (BYU Print and Mail suggests margins of at least ¾” to ensure quality of
printed and bound documents)
• All fonts embedded in the PDF
• Bookmarks for each chapter and heading that is present in the Table of Contents section in the
PDF
I’ve highlighted what I’m guessing they are getting hung up on. Print and Mail suggests 3/4 inch margins, but they don’t print and bind them any more. They don’t require it.
If you’ll give me a point of contact — I’ll reach out to them and read them their policy.
