MLA Format Cover Pageby S TE P H E N on S E P TE MB E R 30 , 2012  · 26 C OMME N TS

The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not require you to create a cover page when you complete your 

research paper, but some instructors may require you to have it. A paper with a cover page also looks more

professional.

If your instructor requires your paper to have a cover page, he/she usually provides specific instructions on what

you should put on the cover page. Here is the general MLA Format cover page: this page should include your 

university name, your research paper title, your name, your class, your professor name and your paper’s due date.

Here is how to format your MLA cover page:

This page is double spaced and the letters are centered.

Type the name of your university or college.

Skip to about one-third of the page and type your research paper title, include a subtitle if you have.

Skip several lines down and type your name, your course name and number, your instructor name and your 

paper’s due date.

 Alternate First Page:

If your instructor requires a cover page, you may omit the main heading on your first page. Here is an example of 

the first page if a cover page is used. You still need your last name and page number on the first page and every

other pages.
