Examples include the Washington Street Campus, the Committee on Institutional Effectiveness, the English Department, the Academic Dean's Office, the Academic Dean, and an Associate of Arts in English degree.

All others will appear as Arabic numerals. The web-based Editorial Guidelines will include additional examples of numbering.
