Changes
To change a budget, financial managers may submit a change of budget or complete an online departmental transfer. Funds cannot be transferred between different fund types.
Change of Budget (COB)
The Change of Budget Request Form is used to increase budget, transfer budget, or establish original budget for salary or wage budgets, fringe benefits budgets, or budget adjustments affecting revenue or fund balance.
To submit a change of budget, download the form below, fill out the details, send it for approval, then email the completed document to budget@shsu.edu. Adobe Sign may be used for gathering signatures. Tutorials and troubleshooting are available through IT@Sam.
Once received, the Budget Director will review the budget transfer, approve it, and send it on to Central Budget for processing. The Central Budget Staff will enter the transfer into Banner, review the entry twice, and the Assistant Vice President of Financial Planning & Budget will approve the journal voucher.
