The Format for Most College Writing

Here's a general, fall back format for most writing in college:

Begin the paper with the following information, single spaced, in the top left hand side of your paper: 1) your name, 2) the course number (in this case, ENG 01) followed by a comma and your professor's name (in this case: Steve Brandon); finally, 3) the date.

Double space, and center the title of your paper.

Triple space, indent five spaces, and begin your introduction.

There after, everything in your paper is double spaced.

Page set up: 1 inch margins, top, bottom, right and left. 12 point, Times New Roman font. Body paragraphs should all be indented five spaces, and be left justified.

Your paper should look something like:

Your Name
ENG 01, Steve Brandon
1 April 2008

Title
