Non-State Capital Project Budget Approval Process and Guidelines

In accordance with Regental Policy, capital projects which are:

  • - Funded in whole or in part with Non-State funds; and/or
  • - in excess of $400K; and/or
  • - Externally financed;

Must be submitted to the UCOP Budget Office for approval as detailed below.

General Overview

The Non-State Capital unit of the UCOP Budget Office processes all such non-state funded capital project budget approval requests. We also process certain State-funded project budget approvals designated for review at the UCOP (or higher) level. Examples of such projects include California Institutes For Science and Innovation (CISI) projects, projects supported with SB 1953 funds, and projects supported with Presidential funds (e.g., certain child care facilities).

For projects supported exclusively by State funds please contact Director Aull, State Capital Planning and Development.

If in doubt, check with either the State or Non-State Division prior to developing your submittal.

Non-State Capital Project Submission Guidelines

The following are the typical steps for preparing a project budget request submittal to Non-State Capital:

  1. Finalize the project cost and funding sources;
  2. Determine the required level of approval;
  3. Reviewing the timing requirements for your submittal;
  4. Download the checklist;
  5. Write the "Action" section of the submittal;
  6. Download and insert the Key into your item;
  7. Write the text (Description, Background, etc.) of the Item;
