Students must submit an electronic document prepared according to the specific requirements for ETDs using ProQuest ETD Administrator. Templates are available to help:
- Microsoft Word (v1.9.3 updated 10/14/2020)
- LaTeX
These templates offer many shortcuts and automatic features that allow you to quickly format your paper according to Pitt's guidelines. These templates are not self-explanatory, however, so understanding how they work before using them is necessary. Ready to get started?
