This serves as a clearinghouse for updates regarding developments in CSU’s budgetary process, providing our University community with the most up-to-date budget information to help improve overall understanding of the University’s financial status and priorities.

Given the state of the nation’s economy, and the uncertainty of Colorado revenue forecasts, Colorado State University is taking a conservative approach to planning and budgeting. While there are economic uncertainties and challenges ahead the University will be able with campus-wide input to build a solid budget that will protect the academic core of the University, advance accessibility, improve some critical areas, and take some significant steps forward in assuring a long-term stable financial foundation for CSU.

As a member of the CSU community, you are invited to remain engaged and informed regarding the budget process and share your views and questions as the process moves forward.
