Chicago Style Title Page Format for Canadian Students
Exact Chicago Manual of Style title page layout for Canadian university essays.
A Chicago-style title page contains the paper title roughly one-third down the page, centred and in title case; your name, course code, instructor, and date stacked at the bottom centre. No page number appears on the title page itself. The title page is unnumbered; page numbering starts at 1 on the first page of body text.
Font: 12-point Times New Roman or another readable serif. The title may be set in slightly larger type (14-16 pt) but most Canadian instructors prefer 12 pt throughout.
Spacing on the title page: title is double-spaced if multi-line; the bottom block (name, course, date) is single-spaced.
Margins: 1 inch on all sides. No header on the title page.
Subtitle handling: place the subtitle on a new line below the title, separated by a colon at the end of the main title line.
Canadian universities sometimes require additional elements: student number, section number, or word count. Check your syllabus before formatting.
Avoid: bold, italics, underlining, or quotation marks around your own paper title on the title page.
