APA Title Page Guidelines
Georgian College, like all educational institutes, uses a standard format for the submission of assignments. The format/style used is called APA 7. You will use this format from this point on when submitting assignments at Georgian. Unless otherwise specified, the utilization of APA 7 is expected.
You will learn more detailed information in the next unit in EDE Prep, Research Skills.
Below is a poster that summarizes general guidelines and shows a sample cover page. Observe the different elements and read the notes in the margin.
