The Cyclical FY Approval Process phase is an umbrella for the submittal of all Small Projects for approval to proceed to Architect Selection, and to receive 100% funding based on the preliminary ROM budget prepared during Project Initiation. The departments of Capital Project Delivery and Campus Planning collaborate to prepare documents for submittal to the Capital Projects Committee requesting approval for all small projects that received a project request form. The FY Approval process occurs once a year, with a batch of projects submitted for approval as a group. The CPC typically approves some, but not all, of the submitted projects. The projects approved by the Capital Projects Committee proceed to Architect Selection with a fully funded budget.
While it is typical for a Small Project to go through the Cyclical FY approval process, projects may also need to proceed more quickly than the cyclical process will allow. In these instances, the receipt of a project request form will trigger the Off Cycle Approval process. Reasons for off cycle approval of project funding may include urgent building system or roof repairs, departmental needs to accommodate incoming faculty or researchers, grant funding timelines, or a variety of other scenarios. In the case of off cycle approvals, the CPC will either approve/reject the request or delegate the request to be handled by the Provost/CFO. If an off cycle request is approved, the project proceeds to Architect Selection and follows the same steps as a typical Small Project.
Large Projects do not enter the FY Approval Process. Large Projects approved at the end of Project Initiation will proceed to Programming.
