Appropriations Cycle Timelines

Each Appropriations Cycle has its own timeline set by the Appropriations Council and approved by the Finance Committee. The full timeline for each Cycle is approved the semester before the Cycle begins. Additionally, Student Government sets the Four-Cycle Appropriations Calendar so that the Key Dates for each Appropriations Cycle are published two academic years in advance.
