 \section{Coverpage}\label{sec:coverpage}
 Reykjavik University's communications department insists on a common outer appearance of official printed documentation, which includes Doctoral Dissertations.
-The library has been delegated the role of deciding what the non-printed student theses and project reports should look like.
+The library has been delegated the role of deciding what the student theses and project reports should look like.
 They have stated that since most never are printed, the focus should be on suitability for displaying on a screen and e-reader.
 The current template in \path{main.tex} implements the cover page and copyright page that go on the inside.
 
-Doctoral students need to contact the RU Communications department for slightly different custom cover PDF before the document is to be published\footnote{The author highly suggests doing this 2 weeks before it is due.}.
+Previously, doctoral students needed contact RU Communications for the outside cover that is printed on heavier paper and bound around the book.
-This class supports the RU Communication's desire for the common appearance through the \texttt{rucover} package.
+This is now included in the template \path{main-dissertation.tex} as of 2026-01-27.
-Place \texttt{cover.pdf} into the same directory that you have your thesis' main file.
-\LaTeX{} includes the file automatically if you add \verb|\usepackage{rucover}| to your preamble.
-You can control the filename with \verb|\usepackage[filename=name.pdf]{rucover}|.
