I just finished my final appointment and wanted to note the following change to get it fully approved. Overall the package worked super well! Most of these solutions came from going through other threads, but I thought it might be helpful to other users to have them in one place. Here are the things I edited/added:

Use short captions to keep list of figures/tables captions less than 4 lines: \caption[short caption]{full caption}
To call your bibliography “references", use this: \renewcommand\bibname{{References}}

Then to add it to your table of contents use: \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References}

(This is for single thesis-wide references, if you’re doing separate ref. list for each chapter use {section} instead of {chapter} within each chapter)

Under the %% HYPERLINKS section in the main template.tex file (before the \begin{document}, uncomment the first “\usepackage” and the “\url{same}” command to avoid having your urls show up in forbidden fonts (the \hypersetup command between them didn’t work for me though)
http://tex.my/how-to-deal-with-wide-tables/ —used second solution here to get tables within margins:

\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
    \begin{tabular}
    ...
    \end{tabular}
}

add \usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption} to “template.tex” before \begin{document} to force even single-line captions to be left-justified
