Policies & Guidelines

Campus policies and guidelines set clear expectations for how Financial Units manage their budgets. This section covers how compensation increases are funded centrally, what the campus requires when a unit runs a deficit, and target ranges for carryforward balances.

What's here

Carryforward & Reserves
Target carryforward balances by unit type — reserve guidelines, how Days Fund Balance is calculated, and where to find the report.
