LaTeX template and instructions for theses, dissertations, and records of study
Students may continue using the Thesis and Dissertation Services’ legacy LaTeX template. At this time, we do not have a preformatted LaTeX template that would ensure full accessibility. The Grad School has formed a LaTeX Accessibility Working Group to develop a LaTeX Template and Walkthrough Guide that will support accessibility upon conversion to a PDF.
Until these resources are developed, LaTeX users can refer to the general guidelines outlined in the Word Template Walkthrough to assist with meeting formatting guidelines. We also highly recommend checking out the Texas A&M’s Engineering Studio for Advanced Instruction and Learning for additional resources on converting LaTeX into accessible PDF located under the Math Accessibility section. Specifically, the Creating Accessible LaTeX PDFs: PDF/UA-2 Compliance in Overleaf is an excellent resource to help achieve an accessible PDF from a LaTeX document.
We strongly encourage students to make their documents accessible to reach a broader audience and maximize the impact of their research.
