A university must be defined in a pe_edu node type and configured as the main location of the institution. This allows for the creation of more locations or campuses where students can study under different programs or take courses. At each location or campus there are sections and subsections, the names of which are configurable. Each of these sub-divisions has an academic staff as head and deputy.

Section (faculty)

Sub-section (department)

In addition, each section and sub-section has a secretary who is a non-academic staff.
