The Strategic Planning Process begins with the Development of the University Strategic Plan....

The Integrated Planning and Budget Process continues with the development of Unit Alignment Plans.... The priorities established through this process along with the resource requirements worksheets are used to prioritize funding requests in the Budget Development Process.

Budget Development is the process by which resources from all funding sources are allocated throughout the University. This process includes the setting of tuition rates and all University fees. While the Budget Office manages budget development and resource allofcations from a campus-wide perspective, the responsibility for developing the details of the institutional budget is shared between the Budget Office, central administration, and individual units. Once the Budget has been approved along with tuition rates and all University fees, the Annual Budget Document is prepared and published along with the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges and approved Tuition Schedule.
