FY2022-23 deliverables

Complete Form A by Tuesday, May 17

Form A is only required for divisions with ladder-rank faculty. An email with the template and instructions was sent to the divisions that need to complete the form. 

The purpose of Form A is to document the resource side (71xxx transfer) of the anticipated net change in permanently budgeted state-funded (19900) faculty for a division’s FY 2021-22 Forecast and FY 2022-23 Operating Budget.

Email the division’s completed Form A to the Financial Planning & Analysis team at dfl_concierge@berkeley.edu by Tuesday, May 17.

Strategic Priorities Template due Friday, May 27

This year, instead of the narrative template, divisions will submit a Strategic Priorities Template. This template outlines the division's key strategic priorities for the next three years and will be used to facilitate the discussion during the budget meetings.

Link: Strategic Priorities Template - download and complete the template.

Complete the Strategic Priorities Template by Friday, May 27, add it to the FY23 Strategic Priorities folder within your divisional folder and email the Financial Planning & Analysis at dfl_concierge@berkeley.edu to indicate it is complete. 

Budgets due in CalPlan by Friday, June 10

Your completed FY22 Forecast and FY23 operating budget is due in CalPlan on Friday, June 10 by 7 pm.

The CalPlanning planning tools (CalPlan, HCP) will close after the deadline so that the Financial Planning & Analysis team can review the budget submissions. The CalPlanning reporting tools (CalRptg, HCPRptg, Smart View) will remain available, with the FY22 Forecast and FY23 Operating Budget Planner Submission available for reporting.

Budget Template due Friday, June 10

The Budget Template has been added to the divisional folders. The templates are located in the Budget template folder within each division's FY2022-23 Budget Process folder. The template is called “FY23 Budget template”.

The Budget Template contains two sections to complete: Budget Planning template and Use of Reserves. The first tab outlines the instructions and the two different sections to complete are listed at the bottom of the Excel file in the different tabs. We also added a Central Commitments tab outlining the Campus Support Commitments (non-General Allocation) to see what has been seeded in future years.

Complete the Budget Template (both sections) by Friday, June 10, add the completed template to your divisional folder and email the Financial Planning & Analysis at dfl_concierge@berkeley.edu to indicate it is complete.
