Activity Budget/Rate Approval

Sales & Service

Activity Budget/Rate Approval                              

Departments who provide services through fee-for-service agreements are required to track this activity separately from other activities. The Dean's Office is delegated to approve establishment or revision of a Sales & Service unit within the DGSOM. The DGSOM Controller's Office is responsible for reviewing and approving all revisions to budgets/rates and the establishment of a new Sales & Service unit.

The revision interval requirement to an existing budget/rates is determined based on the campus review of risk factors associated with these activities. The Dean's Office has worked with campus to develop a process that requires all units to submit applications to the DGSOM Controller's Office for review prior to forwarding any requests to campus with support of the proposed budget/rates.
