Style File Templates and Repositories for ETD 

A former USF student to created a LaTeX repository and style file. She also met with ETD to update it recently. It has a lot of helpful information on how to navigate LaTeX and align with USF’s Institutional guidelines for ETD formatting.
This is not created by ETD, but we have looked at it, and it is a great starting point. Note that some adjustments may be needed to meet ETD’s Formatting Requirements:

Right now, the Engineering style file is also available.  A former student helped Engineering to generate the LaTeX template, and as stated, it's a convenience they provide, but you will likely still have to adjust it a little bit to meet the ETD requirements:
