I'm not familiar with C# but in VB I would do the following;

 

As part of the login page you can pass the department number to the next form using either Request.Form or Request.QueryString methods. In the next form grab the value passed and assign it to a variable declared right after the <script> tag (before subroutines).

why don't you use a session variable...

I agree with wess... use a session variable if you can and maintain the state across the entire site for the duration of the users visit. Either way, if you're on active directory or LDAP 2, you can possibly even query the login of the user for their group id and use that for access.
