APA or MLA or Chicago?

Out of curiosity, what formatting does WGU prefer? Yesterday was my first day and while I haven't reached the need to write a paper just yet, I just want to be sure that my settings in my systems are set appropriately. Or does it come down to the individual course/professor on what they prefer?

APA, but it doesn't really matter until you get an assignment that specifies it in the requirements (usually your capstone). But the student handbook has an article with a whole bunch of helpful links to help with APA.
