Division Budget Planning Process

Note that due to the extraordinary circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, budget planning for Fiscal Year 2020-21 continues this fall. Budget planning for Fiscal Year 2021-22 will take place in spring 2021.

FY2020-21 Planning Overview

The University is facing historic budget challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CSU System's overall budget was cut by $299 million for Fiscal Year 2020-21, with CSUCI taking on $5.1 million of that cut. The Division of Business and Financial Affairs will be planning according to the timeline below to submit budget reductions from its area to help the campus maintain a balanced budget. Division staff will have an opportunity to take part in this planning through individual meetings with their managers, unit staff meetings, division-wide meetings and campus budget forums. The Division's budget reduction plan for Fiscal Year 2020-21 will be finalized by Division leadership and submitted to the Strategic Resource Planning Committee (SRPC) for review and finalization.
