Sacramento State's Operating Fund for the fiscal year 2005-06 totaled $482.5 million, primarily supported by General Fund dollars derived from state appropriations, budgeted Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs), and student fee revenue. The budget is closely tied to enrollment numbers, with unrealized fee revenue estimated at $3,200 per FTE below target. A shortfall of 320 students results in a $1 million budget reduction. Additionally, the institution benefits from Marginal Cost funding of $7,200 per FTE for each increase in target enrollment, which can significantly impact the baseline budget.

Sacramento State’s Operating Fundis supported by “General Fund” dollars General Funding comes from two sources: • State Appropriations • Allocations based on budgeted FTEs • Student Fee Revenue • Collected from students attending Sac State This means our budget is directly related to both Target FTEs and the number of students who enroll at Sac State
Four-year Target FTE and Enrolled Students The unrealized fee revenue for each FTE below target is approximately $3,200. If we enroll 320 students below our target (-1.5%) in any given year, we “lose” about 1 million dollars! This means a 1 million dollar reduction to baseline budget.
$$$ Per FTE Marginal Cost funding = $7,200 per FTE “Marginal Cost” funding is “growth money,” that is the amount of money we get per FTE when we increase our target enrollment. For example, if Sac State increases its target FTE from 22,617 students to 22,717, then we will receive a $720,000 baseline increase.
