Overleaf Template and Related General LaTeX Guides

The University of Pittsburgh provides a general LaTeX template for you to use either via Overleaf or another editor application. However, you are welcomed to create your ETD using your own code. You should keep in mind, that your final PDF must have the required preliminary pages, follow the general formatting styles, and be an accessible document. If you have questions about these parameters, please contact ETD Support.
