Writing a Ph.D. Dissertation at UTCS

• "What to Expect..." advice from Paul Baffes (1995)

• Deadlines and Forms page from the Grad School

Bizarrely, the grad school keeps a Word template, but not a LaTeX template. There is a old, unmaintained, “no guarantees” LaTeX style file at the grad school Web site.

Over the years, a number of UTCS Ph.D. candidates have maintained a LaTeX template, which is attached here.

• UT Grad School format rules: http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/pdn/pdf/dissformat.pdf
• UT Grad School Word templates: http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/pdn/downloads/
• UT Grad School “historical” LaTeX template: http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/etd/LaTeX/UT+Dissertation.packages/
• Template created and updated by UTCS Ph.D. candidates: utthesis-2.0ame.tar

Note that the Vita section generated by the utthesis-2.0ame.tar template is optional, according to the Grad School format rules. Consequently, so is the completion of the \thesisauthoraddress command.
