Frequently Asked Questions

Organization codes are a representation of various functional areas across the University. The organization code is comprised of six levels (digits). Each level corresponds with a position level, or area, of responsibility. The more numbers there are to an organization code (e.g. all six fields have numbers as opposed to the first one or two fields), the more restrictive the level of viewing or access is. The Office of Planning and Budgeting is the department responsible for setting up and maintaining the University’s organization codes. Additional information for adding or changing organization codes can be found at: https://opb.washington.edu/content/unit-operating-budgetsorg-codes

To change an individual budget's org code, please send a Grant Tracker request under the Budget Setup topic. If you need to change the org codes for multiple budgets at once, please prepare a list or spreadsheet of the changes required and email it to gcahelp@uw.edu.
