Finance & Transparency
The Central Student Government has an annual budget of roughly $800,000. This money is spent on programming, operations, a graduate childcare subsidy, and student organization funding. This page serves as data and information about CSG's finances.
Every semester, students pay a student fee of $11.19, of which CSG receives $9.52. This number has risen over the years, and with that, the overall budget has as well. This financial transparency dashboard was created to give insight as to where your student fee goes from semester to semester, and how each administration chooses to spend it, including the types of policies to pursue. This dashboard covers 2019 through present.
The total CSG budget varies due to changes in the number/cost of student fees, rollover, as well as other factors. CSG’s budget is heavily dependent on enrollment level, as well as the student fee at the time, leading to changes in budgets across administrations as depicted in the graph.
Every semester we receive fees and the Executive and Assembly collaborate on making a budget, typically a process led by the Treasurer, and passed through the Assembly. This pie chart breaks down the budget allocation for each semester.
A typical CSG administration runs from April of one year to April of the following. To contextualize the spending by administration, we have broken up the data into administrative terms (E.g. Sp/Su 25, F25, & W26 as one administration).
