LaTeX
to Write a PhD Thesis.
Using the templates below (with the exception of the template by Tyrrell McAllister), you might find a problem with the page number (or lack thereof) on the first page of the biblography when using BibTeX. Grad Studies requires a page number in the upper right corner. To fix this:
thesis_template.tex | This is a simple thesis template using the amsart class |
ucd_dissertation_template.tex
lorem_ipsum.tex |
This is a more sophisticated doctoral thesis template using the book class, with
lorem_ipsum.tex included so that the page formatting can easily be seen when just
compiling the template itself. To use this template, download both files into the
same directory, and then edit the one called ucd_dissertation_template.tex . |
Dissertation_Template.zip | This is a very nice dissertation template put together by our very own Tyrrell McAllister. |

NOTES/WARNINGS:
This is an unofficial guide. Please see Preparing & Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation for the official set of instructions.
In order to graduate, you need to meet with the Student Affairs Officer in Graduate Studies for the Mathematics / Applied Mathematics Department (click on the "People" tab). Email this person several weeks in advance to make an appointment and get a list of what you need to take care of. See the filing dates calendar on the Preparing & Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation page to find out the date by which you need to meet with the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS).
You need to submit your dissertation electronically at least 2 business days before your meeting with OGS so that they can approve it. They're not going to read it, they're just going to make sure it conforms to the formatting specifications. See the Preparing & Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation page for more info on submitting your dissertation electronically.
Things you'll need when you meet with OGS (see the Degree Candidates page for more details):
