Annual Operating Budget Process

Each year an operating budget is prepared for the campus based on General Program Revenue (GPR) allocations received from the State of Wisconsin, as well as for major gifts, grants and auxiliary operations. The campus budget is then submitted to UW System for inclusion in the State’s operating budget. The approved budget is commonly referred to as the Redbook budget.
