1. Undergraduate Tuition Revenue Pool

The pool of Undergraduate Tuition Revenue distributed through the budget model is based on:

  • Estimated UG Tuition (enrollment x tuition rate)
  • Less financial aid (~30% RTA rate)
  • Less set-asides to OP
  • Plus UG NRST
  • Less NRST Held Centrally
  • Net UG Tuition Pool Allocated
  • Net UG Tuition is allocated to the units responsible for the activity as follows:
  • 70% to colleges, divisions and schools based on 3 metrics: 60% on student credit hours, 30% on degree majors, and 10% on degrees awarded.
  • 30% to Provost to be incorporated into Provost Allocation resources.

Beginning with 2020-21 UGTR allocations, schools and colleges receive funds based on the existing workload metric and allocations and a separate allocation will be made to central campus that will be used to fund student success initiatives.  The existing $257 million pool of UGTR - about $180 million of which is held by deans - will continue to be allocated to the colleges and schools based on their workload metrics.  Any growth above this pool that previously would have been allocated to colleges and schools will be held centrally for use in student success investments.

2. Facilities & Administrative Cost Recovery (F&A Costs)
