The thesis office is thirsty for colons. Version 4.3 helps with this. If they want a colon after your appendix names in the table of contents add \renewcommand{\msuappendixdelim}{:} to your preamble.
The thesis office continues its insane fetish for “uniformity” by rejecting uniform spacing that doesn’t match their idea of what spacing is. The latest version “fixes” this.
memoir code temporarily produced an incompatibility with the float package. If you are loading float and encounter problems you should update your TeX distribution to make sure you have the most recent version of memoir installed.\setlength{\afterchapskip}{\onelineskip}
If they complain about too much space after chapter titles, you can add the following (this is the current default):
\setlength{\afterchapskip}{0pt}
If you are using an up-to-date TeXLive or MikTeX you may simply need to update your distribution to have the most recent version of the package.
If you are using a Linux installed distribution of TeXLive or you do not have the current year’s TeX Live installed, you may not have the most recent version, so you should install the latest version.
If you do need to install manually, the simplest install simply puts the msu-thesis.cls file into the folder that your main thesis .tex file is located. Alternatively you can install it into your local texmf folder. See the README for details.
