Title page. APA does not provide specific title-page guidelines. Center the title and include your name, the course name and number, the instructor’s name, and the date. If your instructor wants you to include a running head, place it flush left on the first line. Write the words Running head, a colon, and a short version of the title (fifty characters or fewer, including spaces) using all capital letters. On the same line, flush with the right margin, type the number 1.
