First impressions count, even on coursework. Fill in your assignment details below and download a clean, professional cover page PDF in seconds. It is free, unlimited and watermark-free — and it is built on your own device, so your name and university details are never uploaded anywhere. A tidy cover page tells your marker the work inside was taken seriously — before they read a single paragraph.
Quick answer: The assignment title, your name, the course or module, the instructor's name, your university, and the submission date — in that order of importance. That is also the core of the APA 7th edition (2020) student title page: title, author name, affiliation, course number and name, instructor name, and due date. Styles differ — MLA, Chicago and individual departments all have their own rules — so always check your department's guide first; this tool covers the fields every style agrees on, and you can leave any field blank if your style omits it.
A cover page is page one of your submission, not decoration. Markers use it to file work correctly, and a missing student ID or course code is how good work gets lost or marked late. Keep it plain: one title, one name block, no clip art, no coloured backgrounds. If your university supplies its own template, use that instead — this tool is for the many courses that simply ask for “a cover page” without providing one. Pair it with our assignment merger to attach the cover to your work, and our page-number tool for longer submissions.
The single most common filing error. Copy the course code from the brief, not from memory — one digit off and your work lands in the wrong pile.
Big images, coloured boxes and fancy fonts look unprofessional on coursework. Plain, centred, readable wins every time.
Late penalties are judged from the submission date on the cover. If the date is missing, you have no defence.
Use your official enrolled name, not a nickname. Marking systems match on the official name.
A cover page carries your name, student ID, university and course — personal data that identifies you. Server-based document tools receive all of it and store it under their retention policy. This tool assembles the PDF with JavaScript on your own device — open the Network tab and verify it yourself: no upload happens. That is the same privacy promise behind our safety guide, which explains the upload-vs-browser difference in plain terms.
The honest trade-off: because nothing is stored for you, the form clears if you refresh — so download the PDF before leaving the page. That is the entire cost of keeping your student details off the internet. Always check your department's formatting guide — styles like APA, MLA and Chicago differ on details this generic cover does not dictate.
At minimum: the assignment title, your full name, the course or module, the instructor's name, your university, and the submission date. Add your student ID if your department uses one.
For student papers: the title, your name, your affiliation (university), the course number and name, the instructor's name, and the due date — all centred. This tool covers exactly those fields.
Usually the cover page itself is unnumbered, with numbering starting on the next page. If your department wants the cover counted, merge it first, then number from page two using a page-number tool.
For short assignments, yes. A thesis usually needs a department-specific title page with extra details (supervisor, degree programme, faculty) — check your faculty's template before submitting a thesis.
List all group members' names on one cover page, in the order your brief specifies. Add each member's student ID if the department asks for them.
Yes — unlimited cover pages, every field, PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account, no payment details. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to meter.
Only in this browser tab while you type. The PDF is assembled on your own device — your name, student ID and university are never uploaded to any server.
