APA Citation Style, 7th edition: Web Page from a University Site

Helpful Tip!

 Where can I find the date of a Web page?

Usually the date is available at the bottom of the Web page.  It may state last updated, last modified or last reviewed.

Hint!

If there is no date available then use (n.d.) for no date.

Helpful Tips

• When citing sources that you find on the Internet you only need to include a retrieval date if the information you viewed is likely to change over time.  If you reference an article from a news source (e.g., CNN, NBC, Washington Post) or a site that may experience continuous updates, you would then need to include a retrieval date.
• New in 7th edition: You must include the site name in your citation, unless the site name is the same as the corporate author. For example, a citation of a CDC report would not include the site name.
