Welcome to Budget Services 

Budget Services at Valdosta State University is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the university's budget, operating within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Below, you'll find information on the Valdosta State University Budget Process as approved by the Budget Advisory Council.

Valdosta State University operates on a fiscal year that runs from July 1st to June 30th. The budget process commences in the Fall when the University System submits its budget proposal to the Legislative Budget Office.  Also during the Fall, institutions submit revenue estimates and fee proposals for the Board's review. Budget hearings with the Board of Regents take place in the Spring, during which institutions present their budget needs and missions. The Board then allocates state funds to the institutions in late Spring.  Final budget proposals are typically due to the Board in May. During the fiscal year, budget amendments are completed to reallocate resources based on institutional needs and strategic initiatives. The Budget Advisory Council oversees the strategic allocation of resources in alignment with Valdosta State University's objectives and Strategic Plan. These meetings are open to the public, and all are encouraged to participate.
