Schools are the highest level of organization within an institution. For example: School of Business, School of Medicine.

There must be at least one school defined in the system.

 

School Names must be unique. For example, there cannot be more than one "School of Business". However, "School of Business" and "Graduate School of Business" is acceptable.

 

If the Campus extension is installed, school names must be unique within a campus. For example, both Campus A and Campus B may have a school named "School of Business".

Note: The term "School"  is used generically. An actual school may be named to fit the institution's terminology, e.g. "College of Business"

 

In the system hierarchy, Schools have Departments. Departments have Faculty Members and Courses.
