NSU Halmos College of Arts & Sciences Thesis and Dissertation Submission Guide: Ordering Printed Copies

Landscaped Page Error

The OCL team does our best to make sure your submission is ready to go to the bindery with no issues before sending it to you.  One issue we've come across is with manuscripts that have landscaped pages.  Even converting them to portrait mode, which we've done on your behalf, will still yield an error message that says you have landscaped pages.  Please double check we didn't miss a landscaped page, but you can ignore this error message if you happen to receive it.
