Welcome to the CWU Budget page!

In 2017, the university shifted to a new budget management model and process known as Responsibility Center Management (RCM)/Activity Based Budgeting (ABB).

RCM/ABB are designed to:

• Put greater emphasis and clearer authority and accountability at the level of the Deans and Vice Presidents, thereby providing colleges with more ownership of the overall budgeting process.
• Enhance transparency about both revenues and the costs of operating our institution.
• Provide motivation to achieve and optimize revenue generation and cost effective practices.
• Encourage innovation
• Challenge silos
