The idea
An APA student paper has a title page, one-inch margins, double spacing throughout, and page numbers in the upper right of every page.
In practice
The title page gives the paper's title in bold, centered, then the writer's name, department, institution, course, instructor and due date, each centered.
Where people slip
Follow your instructor's requirements, which may modify these defaults.
