Annual Budget
Highlights | Detail

Tables representing CU’s annual budgeted revenues and expenditures for operations of each CU campus each year.

The budget includes economic resources for carrying out the primary mission of CU in teaching and research. The budget comprises three basic revenue sources:

  • State Appropriated: Funds that make up the largest portion of the budget. The primary revenue for these funds is student tuition and fees, but also includes state funds.
  • Auxiliary and Self-Funded Activity: This part of the budget comes from revenue generated by services on the campuses, such as athletics, health services, parking and housing and dining. These services are self-funded and their revenue is invested back into their operations.
  • Restricted: Funds restricted by donors or outside agencies for specific purposes, such as research funding and philanthropy.

The budget is presented annually to the CU Board of Regents.
