University Common Unit
Code Description
The University Common Unit
Code system (CUC) was developed in order to assign a code to each single unit
or entity of the institution. This code is utilized by all University
application systems that incorporate coding for units.
The codes include all
institutional entities existing in the various systems within MSU. Those units
coded include purely instructional units (i.e., French), Budgetary Accounts
(i.e., Long Term Disability), and still other units for which a distribution
(or mail) function is indicated (i.e., Investment & Trust Management).
The D03 system (the
AIS-developed application to maintain CUCs) is used to maintain information
about each unit. Specific detail information contained within D03 follows:
complete unit title; alphabetical abbreviation of instructional units; standard
18 character abbreviation; a type designation indicating the characteristics of
the unit; a 2 character major administrative unit code (MAU); and the 3
character unit or department code.
Unit or department codes may
appear in more than one MAU, as many units are shared or cross-referenced. The
unit code for each entity remains the same regardless of the associated MAU.
MAU and CUC listings are available from the Common Unit Code Website (see link
above). Obsolete codes are labeled such and are retained in the system for at
least one year. Inactive CUCs may be retained for future use on the condition
that the unit and functions will reappear in the future.
NOTE: The
three character alpha department code abbreviation is no longer valid. This code was established pre-SIS to
characterize instructional units. With the
advent of SIS, subject codes now define courses, and are not intended to define
units. As such, OPB will not change the alpha code
within the D03 system, and expect it to be discontinued in any future
enhancements to the system.
Unit type codes are intended
to communicate the nature of the unit, and are descriptive in nature. Below is
a list of Unit Type Codes:
B - Budgeted
unit of the University
R - Primary budget is generated by a revolving account
A - Budgeted as an auxiliary unit
C - Cross reference listing for a unit
P - University personnel are appointed to these units
D - Distribution or functional unit
I - Instructional Unit
