Some theses/dissertations need space for extra materials relevant to the work but not appropriate in the main body of text, such as IRB approvals. For these, appendices are useful.* Appendices should go after your references/works cited list, should be formatted as Heading 1, and as such should appear in your Table of Contents. Any Tables or Figures that appear in an appendix should also appear in its respective list. Finally, when referring to an appendix within the body of the work, please refer to them as "Appendix A," "Appendix B," etc.
*Note: the following example screenshots will have the "Show/hide formatting marks" option toggled on. To see how to enable/disable this feature, see Landscape Pages & Special Materials.
To add an appendix, first create a new page after your references list (to do so, see Page Breaks and Section Breaks). Type Appendix A at the top and set it to Heading 1.
Most students prefer to title their appendices, though this step is optional.
You can repeat this process as many times as necessary to include all of your extra materials.
If you've already inserted a Table of Contents in your document, appendices won't appear immediately in this table once they're added. To show your changes, right click anywhere inside of your Table of Contents and click Update Field
You might receive a pop-up asking if you want to update the entire table or just the page numbers. Select Update entire table.
Any added appendices should now appear in your Table of Contents.
