FAQ: How do I make an APA title page?
In APA Style, the cover sheet is called a title page. Follow the guidelines of your instructor when determining the proper format for your title page. Unless instructed otherwise, include the following elements:
- Title of the paper in bold
- Author name
- University Affiliation
- Course number and name
- Instructor name
- Due date
- Page number (top right).
For APA 7th edition, running heads are only required for professional papers that are being submitted for publication. Please see Section 2.3 for more information or review the APA Style blog’s Student Title Page Guide. The video below by Academic Support walks you through how to format your paper. Here is an example of a student title page in APA style:
