Budget development at SJSU is an ongoing, multi-year process that is aligned with the strategic planning of our campus. University Goals, and the processes involved in reaching these goals, influence the distribution of campus resources. Budget drivers (such as student enrollment) are projected for up to ten years in advance for application to long term planning. For more information, please visit SJSU Strategic Planning.
The formal budgeting process at SJSU for a specific fiscal year begins in the Fall of the previous fiscal year. For example, the budget process officially begins in the Fall of 2008 for fiscal year 2009/10. In late May, a request goes out from the University Budget Office to each of the campus divisions, requesting the submission of base/initial budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. The budgets that are submitted and approved are uploaded to the campus financial accounting system, which is used for managing the new fiscal year budget.
These budgets are also compiled into a campus-wide budget, as required by the CSU Chancellor’s Office. The Chancellor's Office will then use this to prepare a consolidated CSU budget. This consolidated budget then goes on to the CSU Board of Trustees, the California State Legislature, and finally, as a part of the State of California budget, it is sent for approval to the California State Governor.
