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.
