Step One: Use the ETD Templates

The ETD process offers students helpful and versatile templates, formatted and structured to the standards and guidelines of the School of Graduate Studies.

Available Templates

The following template formats are available for download:

UNB encourages and supports the creation of an XML version of theses for both archiving and transformation to HTML for distribution over the Web. Only files that have adhered to the template styles can be converted to XML.

Note: Some departments and GAUs have particular stylistic requirements that might be slightly different than the template. You are advised, therefore, to check with your supervisor prior to presentation of the final manuscript. If you do need to modify a particular formatting style to suit your faculty’s requirements, feel free to do so. 

Template Manuals

The following template manuals are available:

Conversion to XML will be done by Lyle Smith at the Electronic Text Centre. If you want an XML version of your thesis/dissertation, you must use the Word ETD templates (listed below) for proper conversion to XML. Only files that have adhered to the template styles can be converted to XML.
