Budget Reallocations and Reductions FY18/19 Process Calendar

Overview

Developed in November, 1992 and revised and reaffirmed in March 2011, the Procedures to Be Invoked for Significant Budget Reallocations and Reductions document serves as a guide to university stakeholders when significant budget reallocations or reductions to the university’s budget are required. The process is divided into three phases which, for the FY18/19 process, will be completed using the following timeline:

  • Phase 1 – Process Initiation and Framework Development (September - October 15)
  • Phase 2 – Identification of Budget Reduction Proposals (October 15 - December 6)
  • Phase 3 – APC Proposal Review, Deliberations, and Recommendations to Chancellor (December 6 - Early Spring 2018)
  • Chancellor Decisions, Campus Announcement, Completion (Early Spring 2018)
