Cal State LA has established its initial base budget for FY 2026–27 using an incremental budget approach. Initial Operating Fund allocations have been distributed to the University’s divisions and colleges and posted to the appropriate departments.
The initial allocations reflect the prior year’s ongoing base funding. They also include eligible compensation funding that was provided on a one-time basis in the prior year and is part of the University’s ongoing base budget in FY 2026–27.
The FY 2026-27 budget structure reflects recent organizational changes, including the establishment of Enrollment Management and Human Resources Management as separate divisions and the realignment of Athletics under the President’s Office.
These initial allocations are subject to adjustment as the University reviews and finalizes the FY 2026–27 campus budget. Updated information will be provided once the University budget process is finalized.
