IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USING APA:
We will accept both APA 6th formatting and APA 7th formatting.  Tips and tricks for the differences will be available in fall 2020. Please let us know, when submitting a document with APA formatting whether you have used APA 6th or APA 7th as your style guide. YOU MAY NOT COMBINE THE TWO STYLE GUIDES.
