| OU | Description |
|---|---|
| <Root OU> | The departmental root OU is the top level OU delegated to the department or college. This OU should be named using the organization's common abbreviation. For example, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering uses the abbreviation, ECE, so its root OU should be named ECE.
This OU should be placed under the NCSU OU hierarchy corresponding to its place within NCSU's organizational hierarchy. For example, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is part of the College of Engineering, so the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering's OU should be created under the College of Engineering's OU. |
