Our templates are formatted according to university guidelines. We have templates in the Word and LaTeX format. We also have instructions on how the Word template can be used.
Please visit our Resources page to attend information sessions that help detail and aid in understanding the templates.

- Word Template with Traditional (chapter-based) body text: The body of this document is set up in a narrative, chapter-based model, with each subsequent chapter building on the one(s) before it.
- Word Template with Manuscript-style body text: The body of this document is set up to contain multiple manuscripts (i.e., articles that have either already been published in a journal or will later be submitted for publication). The manuscripts are separate and independent of one another, each containing a beginning, middle, and end. Generally, the body consists of 3 manuscripts, but it can contain fewer or more; that is up to individual authors and their committees. Authors may also choose to include an Introduction at the beginning of the body and/or a Conclusion at the end, and each individual manuscript may have its own set of Appendices and References.
- LaTeX Template with Manuscript-style Body Text: LaTeX Template: This template can be modified to be either a narrative, chapter-based thesis/dissertation, or a manuscript-style thesis/dissertation.
