Bulletin Reference Conventions

With the Undergraduate 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 Undergraduate 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 Undergraduate 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 description of the Academic Clemency policy would, then, for example, read "2.06, sec. 9" (document 2.06, section 9; jump to this reference: 206.html#sec09); if one wished to refer specifically to the subsection describing the academic clemency requestion process, one would refer to "2.06, sec. 9.2" (document 2.06, section 9, subsection 2; jump to this reference: 206.html#sec0902).
