Hi Trevor,

Thanks this is very helpful.
Just wanted to comment that I was asked (by special collections and archives) to include only a single copyright page, either
1) \copyrightpage
or
2) \prepublishedcopyrightpage

not both.
I’ve commented out the \copyrightpage command in the \preliminarypages command to address this. Best if the cls file would check if one was defined and not use the other.

Thanks again!

I’ve been writing my thesis the last two years using this class. I am about to file in the upcoming week. Thank you so much for it.

As I’m submitting the thesis as a softcopy, the signature page is not required. To remove it, I modified the class file and removed the “\signaturepage” line. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING THIS CLASS!

Hi,

I have never used LaTeX but a random search seemed to lead me to a word doc UCI template for both the dissertation and master thesis. I haven’t had the chance to check if their template actually follows their guidelines but I imagine it does and that it is a recent addition.

It’s at the top of this link:

I can’t tell what it means without seeing the input file. But it looks like something may be wrong with your LuaTeX installation. Can you try a standard install of LaTeX?

Thanks for the template! I have a question. I just downloaded, and I’m trying to typeset it (without any changes), and I get the following errors. First error:

LaTeX Warning: You have requested, on input line 703, version
`2009/04/10′ of package pdftexcmds,
but only version
`2007/12/12 v0.3 LuaTeX support for pdfTeX utility functions (HO)’
is available.

Second error:

LaTeX Warning: You have requested, on input line 3566, version
`2009/07/21′ of package kvoptions,
but only version
`2007/10/18 v3.0 Keyval support for LaTeX options (HO)’
is available.

I have no idea what this means. Any help you can give is appreciated.

Not sure about the bibliography. It appears in my TOC, but I use the \bibliography command with an external .bib file. Do you have the same problem with other document classes, or only the ucithesis one?

For the text alignment problem, you didn’t provide enough information for me to help you.

Thank you for the template, I can’t believe UCI has not provided us with a temple and support.

I have q question, my bibliography does not appear in the Table of content. I use \begin{bibliography}…\bibitem…. \end{bibliography}

do you have any clue why?

also …some part of my text, the lines look not aligned? any suggestions?

Funny, somehow I missed that requirement. My dissertation's list of figures had everything from the appendices, yet it managed to get through the vetting process without any complaints. But Section 2.2.1 of the manual does indeed say not to include anything from the appendices in the LOF. One way of accomplishing this is to use the caption package, as described by Tom's LaTeX Matters blog.

I’m trying to remove my appendix figures from the lof page as per the manual but can’t figure out how to do it. Any help?
