Bulletin Reference Conventions

With the Graduate Bulletin's move to a "digital-first" format--i.e., a document designed for on-line and on-disk distribution rather than print delivery--pagination in this important document loses its usefulness, and a new referencing scheme becomes necessary. Beginning with the 2002-2004 volume, then, content within the UCA Graduate Bulletin is properly referenced by "document number" and, where relevant, section and subsection number.

Explanation: Every content file (and most of the non-content ones) in the digital bulletin has a document number. This number is displayed, when the file is opened in a browser, at the upper left corner just below the standard links and UCA Graduate Bulletin banner (see position above).

Where appropriate, in addition, the bulletin's files have been divided into sections and subsections (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, etc.).

Within the files, section headings look like this:

[1] First-level heading

[1.1] Second-level heading

[1.1.1] Third-level heading

A reference to the bulletin's explanation of grades and quality points, for example, would be identified as "2.06, sec. 3" (that is, document 2.06, section 3; jump to this reference: 206.html#sec03).
