Hi all,
I've used LaTeX on and off for a long time, but have not been concerned with the inner workings of cls, sty, or bst files. Now I told a number of students (6) that they had to write their theses using LaTeX. I found that my university did not have LaTeX format. A .cls file developed by others at the university did not exactly match either. So I've got to modify and tweak.
Wish me luck -- you'll see me on the question side of the Q & A exchange!

Re: Hello
The abusive and often pointless rules most universities impose on thesis/dissertation formatting (which date back to the days of typewriters) are often quite difficult to tweak.
There are several publicly available packages available for other universities; you might start from one of those, as many universities' formatting requirements are similar (though never identical, it would seem).
Good luck! Your students will love you for the work on which you are about to embark!
