Melissa, Wow! This is will be a great time save for both me and my wife (writing MS thesis at the same time). In addition this fills a nice gap in my latex installs -- texlive at work (debian unstable) has a newer ucthesis.cls than my texlive install at home (mac os ) -- causing strange errors. I will double check with the authorities and post back of this document class is ok as far as my dept. is concerned- it should be... just for the record, I unarchived what you sent, adjusted my thesis, and it compiles cleanly into a shiny PDF -- thanks!
