Thesis/Dissertation Support

The UFIT Help Desk’s Thesis and Dissertation Support Center  provides help to graduate students during the process of formatting their Thesis or Dissertation according to the Graduate Editorial Office’s guidelines. We also provide and maintain Templates for graduate students to use in the production of their document in both MS Word and LaTeX formats.

Please ensure that you are familiar with the template prior to constructing your Thesis or Dissertation. If you would like an appointment with a T&D Team member or have your document reviewed for formatting, please use the Submit a Request form, or email us at T&DSupport-hd@ufl.edu.

MS Word & LaTeX Templates

Online Tutorials

We have a variety of tutorials for you, ranging from template overview to formatting tables and figures. It is our recommendation that when you download the template for the first time, you watch the “MS Word Template Instructions” to understand how it works.
