LaTeX templates:
These LaTeX templates were created and supplied by fellow graduate students. NCSU does not support LaTeX--meaning the NCSU Helpdesk and The Graduate School (Thesis Editor and Webmaster) cannot provide any technical support for these files. You are encouraged to utilize the internet, your fellow classmates and your faculty for assistance.

These templates are provided to get you started. These files are not guaranteed to be perfect for everyone as the files may require customization. You are required to fix anything that does not meet the requirements set forth in the ETD Guide even if you used one of the templates. Therefore, you must use the Appendix A Checklist in the ETD Guide prior to electronically submitting the file to the Graduate School for the thesis review.
