Hard-bound copies of print theses, other examinable print works and the written

4.2.4.2.1 Binding
4.2.4.2.1.1 Honour Dissertations
Print theses, professional doctoral portfolios and the
written components of examinable non-print works
submitted to the Library are to be full bound in dark green

4.2.4.2.2 Lettering
Lettering is in gold block letters, 3-4 mm in height, 10 letters per 2 cm
in a sans-serif type face. Where the thickness of the print thesis, other
examinable print work or written component of an examinable nonprint work is sufficient, lettering should be horizontal, across the spine
with the top line of the title lettering 22 cm above the base of the
spine, the author’s name 10 cm, and the award and year 10 cm. The
award name should be abbreviated to CSU requirements (as set out in
Section L15.2 of the Academic Manual, available on the Web).
Lettering on the front cover is not required. If the print thesis, other
examinable print work or written component of an examinable nonprint work has to be published in more than one book, each book is
regarded as a volume. Each volume should be numbered 14 cm
above the base of the spine.
Where the width of the spine does not permit horizontal lettering,
lettering should be applied in the direction top to bottom, starting 2 cm
from the top, in the same type size as horizontal lettering. A space of
2 cm, should be placed between title and award, and 1 cm between
author and title.
