Student Paper Cover Page (APA)

Step 1: Set your standard document format. Many instructors require that you use a font like Times New Roman 12-point font. In addition, APA requires that you have your margins set at 1 inch and double space your paper.

Step 2: Add page numbers to the top right corner of each page. [For information about adding page numbers, please see Insert Page Numbers.

Step 3: Three to four lines down from the top of the page, add the Title, which should be bolded.

Step 4: Two lines down from the title, add the paper author(s) [your name].

Step 5: Add the course department and university name.

Step 6: Add the course number and description (e.g., ENGL 104: Composition and Rhetoric).

Step 7: Add the professor's name.

Step 8: Add the assignment due date.
