Administrative Unit Assessment

Mission:

The Planning and Budgeting Process allows administrative units to review their mission and goals, articulate their planning objectives for the upcoming fiscal year, provide updates to past planning objectives, and to submit new money requests.

The Planning and Budgeting Council (PBC) serves to link the planning and budgeting processes and to evaluate new money requests from units and divisions. The PBC is co-chaired by the Controller and Executive Director of Institutional Planning, Effectiveness, and Compliance.

The council consists of standing positions drawn from the college leadership as well as volunteers from the various constituencies of the college. A call for volunteers is sent out annually during the Spring Semester to fill vacant positions, volunteers are asked to serve for two years.

PBC members are charged with reviewing all of the Unit planning documents, attending meetings with each Unit, and making recommendations on new budget requests to the Presidents Leadership Team (PLT).

The PBC meets in person approximately 6-9 times in the fall beginning in September. October is the busiest month with approximately 2 meetings per week, each of which will be 1.5-2 hours.

PBC Members are asked to rank new money requests using the criteria below.

• Connection to the college’s vision, mission, and strategic plan
