Download a copy of the UI Thesis Template for MS Word
It is recommended that you use one of the two most recent versions of MS Word to format your thesis.
For Windows - use Word versions 2003, or 2002(XP).
For Macintosh - use Word versions 2004, or X.
Templates are available for these Microsoft Word versions.
Limited support and template revisions are available for older versions.
Please Note:
Due to differences in the Graduate College formatting requirements and the way MS Word handles formatting, our template does NOT match the Graduate College requirements 100%.
It is close (95%), but everyone will have to do some additional manual formatting to get their thesis in final form. The most current documentation is now on the web. Click the documentation links below to see instructions on how to use the UI Thesis Template.dot.
Only English versions of your Windows or Mac Operating System and only English versions of Microsoft Word are compatible with the UI Thesis Template.
