APA 7 title page format for student papers.

APA says, “A title page is required for all APA Style papers.” It also says, “Students should use the student version of the title page unless their instructor or institution has requested they use the professional version.”

1. 01Paper title
   The title comes first.
2. 02Author name(s)
   List the paper's author or authors.
3. 03Author affiliation
   Give the department and institution.
4. 04Course number and name
   Place the course details next.
5. 05Instructor name
   Follow with the instructor's name.
6. 06Assignment due date
   Use the date format described below.
7. 07Page number
   Put page number 1 in the page header.

APA says, “Place the title three to four lines down from the top of the title page. Center it and type it in bold font.” The title uses title case.

For the author line, “Place one double-spaced blank line between the paper title and the author names.” The affiliation is the department and institution, separated by a comma. APA says, “Center the affiliation on the next double-spaced line after the author name(s).”

Write the course number “followed by a colon and the course name.” For the assignment due date, APA says, “Use the date format commonly used in your country.” The official page shows both examples below.

The page number is still required. APA says, “Use the page number 1 on the title page ... in the top right corner of the page header.”

The title page follows the same setup as the rest of the paper. APA accepts several fonts, as long as you use one font throughout the paper:

Set 1-inch margins on every side of the page. Double-space the whole title page, and add one extra double-spaced blank line between the title and your name. Only the title is bold. If your instructor gives different requirements, APA's own setup guide says to follow the instructor.

Check the title page from top to bottom, then use the citation generator and source checker for the separate citations and reference list.
