Thesis Template: UQTR (Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières)
UQTR (Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières) does not have a single central template for all of its graduate programs. Requirements are defined at the department level, which means you must consult your specific program to find the exact standards. This guide presents the available resources and the general conventions.
A UQTR particularity: standards by department
Unlike other universities that centralize their standards, UQTR delegates presentation requirements to 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 |

Common general standards (UQTR conventions)
Although the standards are departmental, the following conventions apply in most UQTR programs:
| Parameter | General convention |
|---|---|
| Citation style | APA (7th edition) |
| Font | Times New Roman 12pt |
| Line spacing | Double |
| Margins | 2.5 cm (recommended) |
| Numbering | Roman (front matter), Arabic (body) |
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.
