Important Information About Populating This File
- Organizational Unit identifiers must be unique.

- The Organizational Units import is hierarchical. This is achieved in the import by populating the "ParentIdentifier" column with the "OrgUnitIdentifier" of the Organizational Unit that the child unit falls within. The end goal is to have an Organizational Chart, with the institution at the top, and breaking out into divisions, schools and departments.
- Only the Institution Organizational Unit should have a blank field for the Parent Identifier column. All other Organizational Units will need to have that field populated.
- An organizational unit can be the parent unit of a unit with the same type.
- Courses will be associated with Organizational Units.
