I am trying the write a thesis using the gatech-thesis document class, but it keeps saying Georgia Institute of Technology in various places across the document. How can I change it to say the name of another university? The class file can be found here.

Find the following code in gatech-thesis.cls
file:
\newcommand{\title@text}{ \begin{center} \ifthesisproposal A Thesis Proposal\\ Presented to\\ The Academic Faculty\\ \else A \ifdissertation Dissertation\else Thesis\fi\\ Presented to\\ The Academic Faculty\\ \fi \ \\ by\\ \ \\ {\@author}\\ \vspace*{1.1in} In Partial Fulfillment \\ of the Requirements for the Degree \\ {\@degree} in \iflistmajor \\ {\@major}\\ \vfill {\@department}\\ \else the\\ {\@department}\\ \vfill \fi Georgia Institute of Technology\\% {\@submitdate}% \ifcopyright \\ \vspace*{.3in}% one line + 0.3in Copyright \copyright\ {\@copyrightyear} by {\@author} \fi \end{center} }
Change the Georgia Institute of Technology to whatever you want.

1One also has to make sure to specify the optional institution argument for
\principaladvisor
,\committeechair
,\firstreader
to\sixthreader
which otherwise defaults to Georgia Institute of Technology.– moeweOct 6, 2013 at 21:06
that is hardcoded in the class file. You have to redefine the title macro:
\documentclass[12pt]{gatech-thesis}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\title@text{
\begin{center}
\ifthesisproposal
A Thesis Proposal\\
Presented to\\
The Academic Faculty\\
\else
A \ifdissertation Dissertation\else Thesis\fi\\

\fi
\ \\

{\@author}\\
\vspace*{1.1in}
In Partial Fulfillment \\
of the Requirements for the Degree \\
{\@degree} in
\iflistmajor
