With the implementation of Human Resources PeopleSoft in February, a new structure for department codes replaced the old (legacy) structure. The new tree structure has been validated, and the online People Search and Telephone and E-Mail Directory have been updated to reflect these changes. The legacy department codes will therefore be deactivated on Friday, July 13, 2012.

This change impacts you if:
- you receive a data feed from ITServices that uses the department code field;
- you have your own application that use HR department codes; or
- you use HR department codes to manage permissions in enterprise applications such as QShare and the Queen’s Wiki.

Detail about these changes and how to manage them have been communicated to affected users since November 2011. For more details, please see the Wiki page on HR Department Code Changes:
