These documents (.docx) are provided to serve as a template for formatting a thesis to be submitted at UC San Diego. This thesis was formatted following the official guidelines provided by UCSD as of Fall 2018.
I hope this is useful, as the university only provides instructions but no templates.
If you want a LaTeX template, here is a repo for that.
In the future when any of the guidelines change, please feel free to submit a pull request with the appropriate change, or give me a link to your repo/thesis that I can put in this README to let others know who may stumble onto this repo.
