Financial Strategy and Planning

Budget Guidance & Financial Planning

The Office of Financial Strategy & Planning (OFSP) provides detailed guidance on the University’s finances, financial planning timelines, and annual budget and forecasting processes.

This guidance is released well in advance of the start of the annual budget process. To facilitate discussion and review, Open Forums are held to cover the University’s financial planning and budget guidance. While these Open Forums are mainly designed for budget and financial managers, senior staff members, such as deans and vice presidents, are also invited to attend as an option.
