Title Page Checklist:

The title page is the first page of the essay or research report.

Use double-line spacing.

Include a manuscript page header (first two or three words from title) and page number in top right hand corner of every page. Allow five spaces between the manuscript page header and page number. Start with a page number "1" on the title page.

Check whether you need to include a running head on your title page. The running head is a short title (maximum of 50 characters long), and should be placed on the top line of the title page, flush left. You should introduce it with the words "Running head" followed by a colon and then the running head in capital letters.

Does your title page include the three main elements: title, your name, and educational institution? This information should be centred both vertically and horizontally on the page.

Title (10 to 12 words in length) should be centred with first letter of each major word capitalised (i.e., Title Case).

Author’s name (in Title Case) should be centred on the next line down.

Educational institution (in Title Case) should be centred on the next line down.
