Templates<\/h1>\n
\n \n\n

Students must use and work directly within one of the three official Purdue thesis templates provided below (Standard, APA, or LaTeX\/Overleaf) when writing their thesis or dissertation. Thoroughly read the accompanying handbook for your chosen template as it shows how the formatting should appear and contain necessary formatting instructions, requirements, and examples. Please do not override template formatting, use a non-official template, or attempt to recreate a template. All theses and dissertations are also required to meet current American Disability Association requirements outlined in this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some departments require students to use a specific official Purdue thesis template. If you are not sure which template your program requires, please consult your department to ensure that you select and use the appropriate template from this website.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Format review deadlines vary for CAND 99100 and CAND 99200 registrants. Please review the Graduation Dates and Deadlines calendar<\/a> to locate semester format review deadlines. Theses\/dissertations that do not contain<\/strong> Export-Controlled\/CUI content should be emailed to thesishelp@purdue.edu<\/a> for format review. Theses\/dissertations that do contain<\/strong> Export-Controlled\/CDI\/CUI content must schedule an in-person formatting consultation with the Thesis & Dissertation Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
