The "main" LaTeX file which you will be compiling is:

   dissertation_main.tex

First, you will want to fill in your information in this file.
You will find that you need:
1) The title in line 94 and following. Notice that the formatted title should
   be in inverted triangle form and all capital letters.
2) Your name in line 99
3) Your previous degrees in lines 101 and following
4) The degree you are seeking in line 118
5) Your expected date of graduation in line 119
6) Your major field in line 120
7) Your advisor and committee members in line 126
8) Fill in your name, the exp. date of graduation, and your title
 (in all capital letters) on line 131 for your abstract.

After that, dissertation_main.tex loads various files for other pages.
You'll need to fill in:

abstract.tex - Your thesis abstract 

chapter1.tex, chapter2.tex, ... - Your thesis chapters
  You can have as many chapters as you like -- just create new chapter#.tex
  files in the same style as the 3 sample chapters included in this template,
  and then add a command to include them around line 169 of dissertation_main.tex:
     \input{chapter#.tex}

bibliography.tex - You won't need to edit this file unless you either
  want to type a bibliography manually (see the example in lines 11-26)
  or you want to change the style of the references (line 5). The preferred
  way to handle the bibliography is to give LaTeX the BibTeX data for all 
  papers which you wish to cite. BibTeX bibliographic information is available
  from websites like https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/ for Mathematics
  or for example from Google scholar (scholar.google.com) by clicking the 
  quotation marks for "Cite" and then choosing "BibTeX". You will fill in 
  the BibTeX references in the file:
  
  references.bib - Your BibTeX data for cited papers
  
vita.tex - Your Vita. Be sure to fill in your name, degree, and field near the top.

appendix.tex - This is an optional, unnumbered appendix.
  IF YOU DO NOT WANT AN APPENDIX, simply comment out line 178 from dissertation_main.tex
