Planning for the future

Many steps are involved in creating the annual budget for our university. The budget includes university-funded financial aid, faculty, staff and student salaries, services and purchases (including study away expenses), equipment and maintenance (including capital expenditures).

Each May, following the internal planning process and in consideration of the recommendations of the Budget Advisory Committee, the PLU Board of Regents adopts Pacific Lutheran University’s annual operating budget.
