FAQs

What replaced the CUC system?

  • The Organization of Interest (OOI) application and database has replaced the legacy Common Unit Code system as the system of record for all MSU recognized units.
  • Colleges, MAUs and units are now identified by an 8 digit “Organization Code” or org code.
  • Org codes have limited or no sight logic. Codes assigned prior to 2011 have the legacy CUC code with “100” added in front. Codes created since 2011 start with a “4”.
  • Org codes are identifiers of a unit and do not provide any information about the placement of that unit within a college or MAU.

 

How can I access data about units at MSU other than the Unit Search Tool?

Data about organizations is contained in views in the MSU Enterprise Data Warehouse (MSUEDW). Access to the MSUEDW is granted by IT Services. For information about the “OOI” views in the EDW, please email orgchng@msu.edu.
