MLA Formatting
General Guidelines
Use standard, white 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
Double-space and use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman). The font size should be 12 pt.
Set the margins to 1 inch on all sides.
Indent the first line of paragraphs one half-inch from the left margin.
Formatting the First Page
In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date. Be sure to double-space.
Double-space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization)-not in all capital letters.
Double-space between the title and the first line of the text.
Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number; number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin.
