Preliminary partial scanning specifically seeking error types—all oversights may not be listed here. Therefore, you must consult and meet all guidelines posted on the website:

http://www.graduateschool.ufl.edu/files/etd-guide.pdf

Repeated oversights may simply be noted only upon one occurrence here, although they should be fixed throughout the entire body to mirror a consistent style—you should check the work throughout for any that may have been missed, as we certainly will not catch all occurrences on our preliminary review.

It appears that you did NOT use the template and instead attempted to recreate it. You must use the template in order to have the correct formatting for an acceptable final document.

Page: throughout document – justified text

Comment: Do not justify your text. Instead, your margins should be left-aligned with a ragged right-hand edge.

Please make these corrections and then create a word document with the titles and headings in the table of contents linked in blue to the appropriate titles and headings in the text. Also link the titles and captions in the list of tables and figures to tables and figures in the text. Additionally, any web references/citations should be linked to the corresponding webpage. Finally, be sure that your degree, dates, and title match on your cover page to the ones on your abstract page and biographical sketch. Lastly, convert this document to a PDF before uploading to submit.

Log into http://edm.gradschool.ufl.edu in order to verify the receipt of all of your submission documents; to check that your name,* the title of your paper, and your release level** are correct in the EDM System; to upload your pdf; and to submit*** your final pdf once you are ready for it to be reviewed by our office.

We will contact you back with any changes required before you can achieve final clearance with our office—ensure that you allow yourself plenty of time to finish these changes and the final submission and acceptance process. You will not achieve final clearance status with the Editorial Office until an acceptable PDF is submitted—this must be accepted no later than the published final clearance deadline, and, therefore, must be submitted in a reasonable time for acceptance, but no later than the published final submission deadline in your intended term of degree award. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of students in this process with the exact same final clearance deadline; accordingly, do not wait until too near the deadline to submit your final PDF for review. It is your responsibility to verify that the EDM System indicates your package status is set to Final Clearance and that no deficiencies show as outstanding in your EDM Record. Accordingly, it is not an acceptable excuse to claim that you assumed you achieved final clearance simply by submitting the final PDF document for review by one of our editors.
