SIU’s operating budget is developed annually. The university’s fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
The primary sources of revenue for the operating budget, which covers expenses related to personnel, commodities, equipment and other operations, are appropriations from the State of Illinois and tuition.
The operating budget does not cover capital expenses for new facilities and renovations. Funding for these projects comes from multiple sources, including the state, debt financing, reserves and non-state operating funds.
