The spelling mistakes look simple, but they will affect the quality of writing and the accuracy of using spelling and are a measure of understanding one's language. Making a mistake is a natural thing, but that does not mean the rules in writing are not considered, especially in the use of capital letters in writing. This study aims to determine the use of capital letters in the thesis introduction for PGSD students at Riau University. The method in this study is a quantitative descriptive method. Of the 13 rules for using capital letters in PUEBI (General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling), researchers only took 7 rules. The overall average use of capital letters is 86.67 with a very good category.
