The Budget Office develops, implements, and maintains a comprehensive and integrated budgeting process. The annual budget planning process is led by the University Budget Council with the support of the President and senior management. Participants also include the Budget Advisory Committee, Budget Forum,key University departments and the campus community. The budget planning process culminates in the development of a 5-Year Financial Operating Plan that serves as the basis for establishing annual departmental operating budgets.

Working closely with all levels at the University, the Budget Office also assists in the management of University financial resources. As part of the University Finance Office management team, we ensure that accounting and control processes provide the information required to support financial management and planning activities.
