BUDGET PROCESS
Welcome to the Budget Office at the University of Utah
The University of Utah’s budget is the result of a process, beginning in Fall Semester when the President and Senior Vice Presidents work with the Utah Board of Higher Education to prioritize budget initiatives. At the same time, the Utah Board of Higher Education submits materials to the Governor’s budget office, beginning the first phase of budget negotiations with the State of Utah. The process integrates Regents’ decisions about tuition rates, financial aid, capital projects, and principles guiding the allocation of resources. In late March, following the legislative session, allocations are made for academic and administrative units.
