Budget and Resource Planning

The Office of Budget and Resource Planning enables informed decisions and promotes sound use of public resources. We accomplish this through operational budgeting, which aligns with the mission and goals of Oregon State University.

Some key functions include:

  • Prepare and allocate OSU's Education & General Funds Budget
  • Provide collaborative budgetary assistance for all administrative, academic, research & public services units
  • Prepare and distribute financial statements and reports
  • Advise the University Budget Committee, whose charge is to recommend tuition rates and mandatory fees to the OSU President and Board of Trustees

Budget Realignment

Through our strategic plan, we are seeking to transform our research enterprise, how we serve our students, and how we deliver our mission to serve communities, while also building OSU’s financial strength in the face of a challenging higher education landscape in our state and nation. This year’s budget and scenario planning effort will help us take yet another step in executing our plans and achieving our aspirational goals. Visit the Budget Realignment page for more information.
