Thesis Template: UQTR (Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières)
UQTR (Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières) provides, through its Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, a central template for the title page and the jury identification page of theses and dissertations, along with common standards (notably APA 7th edition). Several more detailed requirements are still defined at the department or program level, so you must consult your specific program to find the exact standards. This guide presents the available resources and the general conventions.
A UQTR particularity: a central framework and standards by department
UQTR provides a central framework (a title-page template, a jury identification page and a reference to APA 7th edition standards from the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research), but part of the presentation requirements is specified by departments and programs. Official resources therefore vary depending on your field:
| Field | Resource |
|---|---|
| Psychoeducation | Specific departmental standards |
| DBA (Doctorate in administration) | UQTR DBA guide |
| Education sciences | Faculty guide |
| Other fields | Consult the program coordinator |

Recommended approach at UQTR
- Consult your research supervisor: the first point of contact for your program’s standards.
- Contact the program coordinator: obtain the written presentation guidelines.
- Refer to recent theses in your program: the UQTR library provides access to past submissions.
- Check the graduate studies dean’s requirements for the administrative submission rules.
