Different upper margin for the second page of table of contents [closed]

Question

I am writing a thesis, and I need to change the upper margin for the second page for the table of contents only. The university demands 2in upper margin for first page of ToC, followed by 1.25in upper margin for next page. I need help.

MWE is here:

\documentclass[12pt,letter]{report}
\usepackage{univ}
\usepackage{u-local}
\usepackage{local}

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{float}
\floatstyle{boxed}
\usepackage{srcltx}

\begin{document}
 \pagenumbering{gobble}

% \setlength{\headheight}{-0.01 in}
\begin{spacing}{1.45}
 \tableofcontents
\end{spacing}
\clearpage

\pagestyle{fancy}
 \lhead{}
 \chead{}
 \rhead{\thepage}
 \lfoot{}
 \cfoot{}
 \rfoot{}
 \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.00in}
 \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.00in}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\normalsize\filcenter\bfseries}{\centering\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{0pt}{\normalsize\uppercase}

\input{chapters}
\clearpage
\appendixtitleon
\appendixtitletocon
\begin{appendix}
    \input{appendices}
\end{appendix}

\begin{bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{bib}
\end{utdbibliography}

\pagestyle{empty}
    \begin{vita}
        \input{vita}
    \end{vita}
\end{document}

In this, chapters, appendices, bibliography and vita are different files and the text is in those files. Also, univ, local and u-local are different .sty files for setting space and formats for different pages. For ToC page, the setting is as follows:

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}

\renewcommand{\contentsname}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftchappagefont}{\normalsize}
\renewcommand{\cftchapdotsep}{\@dotsep}
\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\normalsize\cftdotfill{\cftchapdotsep}}

Answer 1

I assume that the margin for the other pages (different from the first one) is already set and that the problem is with the first page of the ToC; since you are using the tocloft package, you can simply set the appropriate value for \cftbeforetoctitleskip using something like:

\setlength\cftbeforetoctitleskip{-1cm}

of course, instead of -1cm you should use the length that produces the desired value.
