Departments are a subset of a school, therefore at least one school must exist in order to create a department.

 

Department Names must be unique. For example, there cannot be more than one "Finance Department". However, "Finance Department" and "International Finance Department" is acceptable.

 

If the Campus extension is installed, department names must be unique within a campus. For example, both Campus A and Campus B may have a department named "Finance Department".
