APA 7 Update for Doctoral Students

No comments
If you are a Walden doctoral student working on your capstone, you may be wondering if and when you should be learning APA 7 and transitioning your document to follow the new guidelines. For details on a grace period for students actively working on their final studies or project, please see the Grace Period Update on our APA 7 Transition page.



Here are some other key dates to keep in mind regarding the university’s transition to APA 7: 
May 4: All of the Writing Center’s webpages, APA videos, modules, and webinars will be updated for APA 7. 
Summer term starts (May 4 for semester-based programs and June 1 for quarter-based and Tempo programs): Beginning with summer term starts through the end of 2020, the Writing Center’s form and style editors will provide support for both APA 6 and APA 7. 
June 1: Templates for both APA 6 and APA 7 will be available through the Writing Center. We will also provide instructions for adjusting text in an APA 6 doctoral capstone template to comply with APA 7, so that students transitioning from APA 6 to APA 7 in their capstones can avoid starting with a new template. 
January 1, 2021: All doctoral students working on their capstones will follow APA 7 guidelines.
