Budget Information

Each year the College produces a comprehensive budget document that is referred to as the Operational Expenditure Plan or OEP.  The OEP is the culmination of the institution's Annual Report of Program Data (ARPD) or annual budget and planning process.  Current and previous year's OEP documents are available for your information and review.

The revenues and expenses reflected in the OEP are, in fact, point-in-time estimates since the budget evolves continuously throughout the fiscal year.  Due to this fluidity, especially with regards to tuition revenue estimates, enrollment forecast changes, unanticipated expenditure outlays, and unfunded mandates, reviews and analyses of the budget are performed regularly.

Of particular interest will be new and reallocation funding decisions that specifically address items that were submitted through the College's budget and planning process and appear on the prioritized Resource Request Lists in the areas of...1) Operating Budget (supplies, student help, IT-related, travel); 2) Instructional Positions; and 3) Non-Instructional Positions. 

Resources requested for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects and Capital Renewal and Deferred Maintenance (CRDM) projects are conducted jointly by the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services and the Operations and Maintenance leadership team.
