The Master University Department List reflects the organizational structure of the University. The list is organized by executive level (dean-college or vice president-division) and department level.
Coordination
The MUD List and corresponding org codes within the Banner database are coordinated by the Office of Budget & Planning. Requested changes (name changes, new orgs, moves) should be emailed to Budget & Planning at tracy.sorensen@usu.edu. Changes in administrators should be emailed to financesecurityrequest@usu.edu. All changes should be approved by the dean or vice president. Please note that academic organization changes must be requested and approved through the Board of Trustees and Board of Regents before any change to the MUD List or the Banner database can occur.
For questions regarding the MUD List, please contact Tracy Sorensen at (435) 797-1174
