Doc # Filename Page Title 5.01 501.html Board of Trustees 5.02 502.html Administration 5.03 503.html Graduate Faculty Graduate Bulletin Document Number 0.03 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). Return to top Graduate Bulletin Document Number 1.01 Bulletin Provisions The University of Central Arkansas anticipates that students entering the university during the effective years of this bulletin will be governed by the graduation requirements and other policies and procedures set forth herein. However, the university reserves the right to change such requirements, policies, or procedures in accordance with its established procedures for decision making, which exist to protect the academic integrity of its programs and the individual student's interests and welfare. A student may opt for a subsequent bulletin but must meet all of the requirements specified by that bulletin. After initial enrollment, a student who returns to the university after any period of non-enrollment of 12 months or more must complete the requirements of the bulletin in effect at the time of re-enrollment.
