Thesis template available for download

A thesis template is an invaluable tool for writing your thesis since it contains many automated features that save you time. For instance, rather than having to manually format chapter titles and subtitles, paragraph spacing, page numbering, and the table of contents, a thesis template will do all of this for you (and more) so that you can focus on writing.

The following thesis template available for download has been developed in accordance with the Faculty of Graduate Studies thesis guidelines. The style and layout of this thesis has been adapted by Mr. Nathan Kesler from
Dr. Jason Morrison's PhD thesis entitled Geometric Placement Problems. Although this template conforms to the FGS guidelines, your department may have additional requirements (for instance, the style may need to be APA, or MLA). As such, be sure to first check with your advisor if this template is acceptable before you use it to write your thesis.
