Center for Learning and Teaching: APA 6

Adler University uses the APA citation style.   

You can find the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, in the Chicago and Vancouver campus libraries.   

The APA published the 7th edition in October 2019 and copies will be available to borrow from the Chicago and Vancouver campus libraries starting in the fall of 2019. 

Most faculty will ask students to start using APA 7 in January for new work, and ask that work that was started in APA 6 and is continuing into future semesters be completed in APA 6.  Confirm all questions about which version to use with the assigning faculty member.
