University Budget Overview
For Fiscal Year 2007/08, San Diego State University (SDSU) was allocated $221.3 million in state General Fund appropriation and was budgeted to receive an additional $131.7 million from student fees, tuition, and other miscellaneous University Operating Fund revenue for a total budget of $353.0 million. Throughout the year, budget adjustments may be necessary due to changes in actual enrollment and the resulting changes in fee revenue.
Other dedicated resources include $20.4 million from the Housing fund, $9.9 million from the Continuing Education fund, $2.9 million from the Lottery fund, $9.4 million from Parking Fees, Fines & Forfeitures funds, and $67.6 million from Financial Aid and Student Program Trust funds. The “Other Funds” section further describes the source and use of these funds. The University Operating Fund and Other Funds are referred to as the Support Budget.
Additionally, SDSU has four approved non-profit auxiliary corporations with operation budgets as follows: Associated Students, $20.6 million; Aztec Shops, $56.3 million; The Campanile Foundation, $35 million; and the SDSU Research Foundation, $159.8 million.
SDSU is organized as follows:
The President is the university’s Chief Executive Officer. The Office of the President, Office of Diversity and KPBS has been combined for the budget presentation. KPBS operates KPBS TV and Radio, San Diego’s public broadcasting stations, and reports to the President’s Office. Although KPBS receives state support, the majority of its budget comes from non-state sources such as grants, membership fees and private donation. These non-state sources are part of the SDSU Research Foundation’s budget presentation.
Academic Affairs is responsible for all instructional activity and academic support areas such as the library, enrollment services, instructional technology, graduate/research programs, and extended education programs for both the San Diego campus and the Imperial Valley campus.
Athletics is responsible for Division I-A athletic programs. A significant portion of the athletic budget comes from non-state funds such as revenue from ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, and private donations and these revenues are included in the category of Financial Aid, Other Fees and Dedicated Reserves or the SDSU Research Foundation campus program revenue budget line item. The student-paid Instructionally Related Activities Fee provides additional funding for Athletics.
Business & Financial Affairs is responsible for the financial, business and facility resources of the campus and provides other support services including human resources, public safety, parking services, communications, computing services, environmental health, and on-campus housing.
Student Affairs is responsible for various student support services including advising, counseling, career planning, and residential education. Student health care is paid for by a dedicated, mandatory health services and health facilities fee.
University Relations and Development is responsible for the comprehensive campaign, marketing and communications, alumni relations, media and public relations, governmental affairs and fund raising.
Auxiliaries
Each of SDSU’s non-profit auxiliary corporations has its own governing board.
Associated Students manages funds on behalf of the university related to various student organizations, activities, and facilities including the Student Union and Cox Arena.
Aztec Shops manages commercial operations including food services and the campus bookstore on behalf of the university.
The Campanile Foundation receives, acknowledges, and manages contributions made to university programs. In addition, The Campanile Foundation is responsible for the management of the university’s endowment.
SDSU Research Foundation manages funds related to the university’s grants and contracts from federal and other sources. The Foundation also holds private contributions made to the public broadcasting stations, and provides financial support services to other university entities.

Print Support Budget Introduction
Support Budget Introduction
The University Support Budget presents the 2007/2008 University Operating Fund budget allocations and 2006/2007 and 2005/2006 actual expenditures summarized by college/division. Under the Other Fund tab information is provided on the Lottery fund, Financial Aid, Other Fees & Dedicated Revenue funds, and Special Funds (DRF-Continuing Education fund, DRF-Housing fund, DRF-Parking Fees, and Parking Fines & Forfeitures funds).
San Diego State University receives its University Operating Fund support appropriation from the State of California by allocation from the California State University (CSU) Chancellor’s Office. The allocation process for the 23 campuses and the system office begins with a request from the CSU Chancellor and Trustees to the Department of Finance prior to December of each year. The Governor then determines the CSU funding to include in the Governor’s Budget Request which is released in mid-January. This request then goes to the state legislature. In mid-May the Governor typically issues the “May Revise” which is a revision of the original budget based on the most current revenue/expense projections. The legislature is required to return its version of the budget to the Governor for approval in June. The Governor has considerable power to veto individual items in the Budget before signing it into law for the state’s fiscal year beginning July 1.
In 2007/08, San Diego State University’s Operating Fund Budget is based upon the following:
| Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTES) | 29,751* |
| Individual Enrollment (Headcount) | 39,112* |
| Student/Faculty Ratio | 18.9:1 |
| Custodial Square Footage | 3,266,939 |
| State University Fee per Academic Year |
Undergraduate | Teacher Credential |
Graduate/Post Baccalaureate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part time (Up to 6 units) | $1,608 | $1,866 | $1,980 |
| Regular (6.1 or more units) | $2,772 | $3,216 | $3,414 |
For purposes of clarity and consistency with CSU budget categories, positions are grouped as described below:
| CATEGORY: | DESCRIPTION: |
|---|---|
| Academic | Faculty |
| Academic Non-Faculty | Academic Related Student Service Professionals and Department Chairs |
| Management | Management/Supervisory classifications (including Deans) |
| 12 Month Coordinators | 12 Month Coordinators |
| Librarians | Librarians |
| Support Staff | Includes all other positions |
| Student Assistant | All Student Assistant classifications |
| Work Study | On and off-campus |
In the following presentation, these three circumstances apply:
- The employee benefit budget, displayed at the college/division level, is based on prior year actual expenditures and is subject to redistribution based on current year experience.
- The 2007/08 compensation increase budget includes compensation adjustments for certain bargaining units but has not been fully distributed by employee. Therefore, salaries and wages for each division are reflected at 2006/07 rates. This budget also includes the related increases for Social Security, Medicare, and Retirement. This budget is reflected separately in the Institutional category.
- Work-Study actual expenditures for 2005/06 represent total cost in this presentation. Effective 2006/07, the off-campus and on-campus 70‰ Federal work-study allocation and expenditure will occur directly in the work-study trust fund. As such, work-study is not presented as a separate budget category. The 30‰ divisional contribution to on-campus work-study expenditures is included in the divisional salary budget as it has been historically presented.
