FAQ: How should a title page be formatted in Chicago Style?

Formatting a Title Page

Here are some tips for formatting a title page in Chicago style:

• The title should be centered a third of the way down the page.
• Your name and class information should follow several lines later.
• For subtitles, end the title line with a colon and place the subtitle on the line below the title.
• Include your name, class information, and date.
