| |

| − | ==New for Fall 2009==
| |
| − | The Graduate Division recently changed its requirements for electronic submission of theses. As of Fall 2009, doctoral dissertations must be submitted
| |
| − | electronically; for masters' theses this is apparently not permitted for Fall 2009. For detailed instructions, see the [http://grad.berkeley.edu/policies/pdf/disguide.pdf Instructions for Preparing and Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation]. This section gives instructions specific to LaTeX.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For doctoral dissertations submitted electronically, the formatting requirements have changed. To accommodate these changes, follow these steps:
| |
| − | * use '''\documentclass{ucthesisnew}''' instead of '''\documentclass{ucthesis}'''
| |
| − | * do not use the '''\abstractsignature''' macro in your abstract
| |
| − | * the '''\prevdegrees''' macro will be ignored (if used)
| |
| − | * use the '''\approvalpage''' macro only when you need to print the approval page, not in the final submission. You can print just the current page from '''xdvi''', '''evince''', or Adobe Reader ('''acroread''').
| |
| − | * don't use the '''twoside''' option for final submission (page numbers are not allowed in the upper left-hand corner).
| |
| − | * the Dissertation Release Form is up to you
| |
| − | * the new document class is installed on the thin client server, but to use it you need to type the following command, just once, in each terminal window in which you plan to use TeX:
| |
| − | set path = (/local/depot/texlive-2007/bin $path)
| |
| − | | |
| − | These instructions may (and probably will) change for Spring 2010.
| |

| − | ==Creating the PDF file==
| |
| − | * Instead of typing '''latex''' to create a ''dvi'' file, type '''pdflatex''' instead. If you have just run '''latex''' several times to create a ''dvi'' file, then you need to type '''pdflatex''' only once; otherwise you should run '''pdflatex''' and '''bibtex''' in the same sequence as you would run '''latex''' and '''bibtex''', respectively, to create a ''dvi'' file.
| |
| − | * Check the thesis by running '''acroread''', '''evince''', or '''gv''' on the resulting ''pdf'' file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Sending the PDF file==
| |
| − | * If your ''pdf'' file is over 10 megabytes in length, you will need to send it as a ''zip'' file. To convert it to a ''zip'' file, use the '''zip''' command. For example, if the ''pdf'' file is named '''thesis.pdf''', then you can convert it to a file '''thesis.zip''' by typing the command:
| |
| − | zip thesis thesis.pdf
| |
| − | * Send your file or zipped file as an e-mail attachment to [mailto:edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu]. Be sure to include your full name, degree and major, and expected filing date in the body of your e-mail. To send a file as an attachment, you should use a modern e-mail program such as '''pine''' or '''mutt'''; the Unix '''mail''' program is not sufficient. | |
| − | * Currently it takes two working days for Graduate Degrees staff to approve and issue receipts for dissertations filed electronically. If you plan to submit your dissertation electronically during the week of the filing deadline, please allow two working days for approval of your dissertation.
| |
| − | * After your file has been reviewed, you will receive a verification e-mail that certifies whether or not your file has been accepted and gives you a receipt number.
| |
| − | * Bring your receipt number and your signed ProQuest agreement form with you when you file the library copy of your dissertation at 302 Sproul Hall.
| |
| − | * E-mail the Graduate Division at [mailto:edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu edegrees@uclink4.berkeley.edu] if you have any questions regarding submitting an electronic dissertation, or Paul Vojta at [mailto:vojta@math.berkeley.edu vojta@math.berkeley.edu] if you have questions about '''pdflatex'''. | |
