They are in Word 2010-2013 (.docx format) but if you are using an older version of Word, you may be able to save the file in Compatibility mode (.doc format). The Word templates work on both Macs and PCs and can be opened in any version of Microsoft Word. To avoid these issues, be sure to download and use the Graduate School's Word or LaTeX templates below rather than one inherited from another graduate student. Many times these templates are broken, incorrect, or outdated. Note: Using a shared template rather than downloading a new one can result in functionality problems.
Though not required, you are strongly encouraged to use one of the templates below to prepare your ETDR.
