Delete

In order for a unit to be deleted, all associated data must first be merged with a unit slated to be retained. Deleting a unit requires a:

  • Merge Request: Indicate where the data in that unit should be migrated to.
  • Change Parent Unit Request: Indicate which parent unit to use for any subunits tied to this unit.

2. Once the form is completed, download a copy and submit it to help@interfolio.com.

3. After changes are made by the Interfolio Tech Services team, update the unit name and abbreviation in all relevant base data files (Faculty, Course Prefixes, Committees, Current Positions, Secondary Unit Assignments, and Support Accounts).

Previous designations and related data will not be retained and will be associated with the new unit name.
