Thesis Templates
1. Thesis Templates and LaTeX Resources
These thesis templates are provided by generous grad students who have created these templates for their own thesis. A big thanks to Richard Zhao and Rick Valenzano for providing their thesis documents. Also a big thanks to Mike Smit, Chris Pinchak, and Martha White for their past contributions. The CSGSA provides these documents as-is and it is your responsibility to ensure that they meet the FGSR requirements.

Please note that this file may have been created in Microsoft Office, and may not open properly in other software such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
LaTeX Workshop Slides
If you are not familiar with LaTeX, the following presentations, created by the CSGSA, can help. They were created by one of the same students who updated the thesis template, so they can also help you understand that.
2. Candidacy Templates
Details about the candidacy exam and other requirements are on the CS department's website. Big thanks to Mike Smit's for providing his candidacy template documents (LaTeX only): candidacy-template.bib, candidacy-template.pdf, candidacy-template.tex
