Operating Budget
The University Operating Budget is an annual process that incorporates the upcoming fiscal year’s objectives and goals from the Five-Year Financial Plan. Units are expected to reflect known financial impacts and gains within their individual budgets while meeting their bottom line expectations. The approved budgets are then used throughout the fiscal year in the variance process to analyze budget to actual activities.
The University’s primary tool for managing operating budgets is Rubix. If you are an operating budgeter for your department and do not know how to access the system please contact your operating budget analyst.
