Here at WJC we use APA 7 style and format for all our papers. Becoming familiar and comfortable with this style of writing will help you as you move through this program and towards your doctoral project which will be written in this style. This week we hope that you will look carefully through all the resources you have, including online links (bookmark them for later), reference guides, and publications you have access to.

Please remember that you have access to the Academic Resource Center ARC (https://www.williamjames.edu/students/services-resources/academic-resource-center.html) and tutoring to help you with your paper content and APA 7 formatting.

Please be sure to download and save this APA 7 Paper Template (https://canvas.williamjames.edu/courses/11093/pages/apa-7-paper-template-example-copy) it will help you format all your papers through the program.

There are a number of APA 7 Resources that you can use as you are writing papers. For this course we had you purchase APA The Easy Way which can be a tool to look up information, see how to use citations, references, and title pages as well as more advanced pieces of APA 7 formatting. We also suggested that you buy the APA 7 student guide which gives you a more in-depth answers to how to format papers. You also have the larger APA 7 guide that was a part of the orientation required books. All of these resources will help you to find answers to your formatting questions.

This week we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the APA 7 style and formatting expectations by using your APA The Easy Way book as well as for optional reading look through the Concise Guide to APA Style especially Chapters 1,2,9, &10.

As a WJC student you may want to consider gaining academic support by using the Academic Resource Center (https://www.williamjames.edu/students/services-resources/academic-resource-center.html) (ARC) which is a free support to all students.

The ARC offers writing, organizational and study skills support to students in all William James College programs. The ARC also assists students with documented disabilities to obtain reasonable accommodations which allow them access to the curriculum and the school environment.

Tutorial sessions can be provided in face-to-face meetings at school, on the phone, using online communication tools like Zoom and editing tools like "track changes." Typically, tutors will have an initial face-to-face appointment with a new student to understand the student's needs. Subsequent meetings are arranged based on the format which best suits the student's needs as well as the student and tutor schedules.
