The System-wide Budget Manual is a summary of policies, guidelines, and general information used by the University of California Office of the President and the ten UC campuses regarding the budget process, particularly as it applies to the University’s core funds. The Manual was developed to ensure that system-wide policies are well understood and consistently applied. Individual campuses have their own policies and practices that supplement those summarized in the manual.
