The page numbering rules for an Old Format UF thesis or dissertation can be a bit confusing. However, if you think of your document as being separated into the 3 major regions (where the rules only change from one region to the next), the page numbering rules are simple. The table below shows how the page numbering rules should apply:

Region

Sections

  1. Acknowledgements
  2. Table of Contents (TOC)
  3. List of Tables (LOT)
  4. List of Figures (LOF)
  5. List of Objects (LOO)

More sophisticated rules apply for half title pages and facing legend pages. For more details, please refer to the Guide for Preparing Theses & Dissertations.
