ACADEMIC WRITING · APA 7TH EDITION

Student paper setup

Use 1-inch margins and place a page number in the upper-right corner of every page, starting with the title page. Indent ordinary body paragraphs 0.5 inch and align text to the left.

A student title page identifies the title, author, affiliation, course, instructor, and due date. A running head and abstract are generally unnecessary unless your instructor requests them.

Use a readable font consistently. Accepted examples include 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 11-point Georgia, and 12-point Times New Roman. Follow your assignment requirements.
