FY26 Planning and Budgeting Process Ends March 31.
As a reminder, the FY26 planning and budgeting process ends March 31.
Users can access this form for submission of items for the FY26 planning and budgeting year. Users are asked to submit their items by March 31.
To aid budget managers in submitting existing budget increase/decrease (budget maintenance) requests, the budget office emailed budget baseline worksheets to users the first part of March. Please use them as reference material when submitting existing budget increase/decrease requests. If you are a budget manager of an auxiliary unit and are making budget maintenance adjustments, you are required to attach the baseline worksheets to your forms prior to submission.
Written directions and instructional videos have been created to assist users with form completion. These items and the link to the planning and budgeting SharePoint form are posted to the FY2026 planning and budgeting link on the finance department’s SharePoint page.
