DASG Budget Process Flowchart
DASG Budget Process
The DASG budget process takes place throughout the academic year and includes five main steps:
1. Budget Applications Open — Late September to Early October
At the start of the fall quarter, DASG budget applications become available for eligible
campus programs to submit funding requests for the next fiscal year.
2. Budget Interviews — October to December
The DASG Finance Committee reviews submitted applications and may request an interview
with programs to ask questions or gather additional information about their funding
requests.
3. Finance Approval — January to February
The Finance Committee evaluates budget requests and determines how much each program
is recommended to receive for the next fiscal year.
4. Senate Approval — February to March
The Finance Committee's recommendations are forwarded to the DASG Senate. The Senate
reviews the proposed allocations, deliberates, and votes to approve the DASG budget.
5. Board of Trustees Approval — May
After DASG Senate approval, the Finance Committee presents the approved budget to
the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board of Trustees for final approval.
After approval: Approved funding becomes available for use during the next fiscal year, beginning July 1.
