Administrative Services GatewayBuilding partnerships through collaboration
Administrative Services GatewayUB strives to deliver centralized financial information and key reports to the campus community.
Annually, the University at Buffalo issues financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30. These unaudited financial statements are compiled based on State University of New York (SUNY) campus level financial reports representing the operations for state and research foundation activities. Such reports are made available to the university between January and February. Financial Statement preparation occurs in the February/March time frame.
Financial statement schedules include a component unit presentation. Component Units include the campus related Foundation and the auxiliary service entity, Faculty-Student Association (dba Campus Dining and Shops).
As part of the State University of New York (SUNY), the university's financial information is also included in the complete SUNY financial statement which is part of SUNY's Annual Report.
As a premier research institute, the research portion of the university's financial information is also included in the complete Research Foundation (RF) financial statement which is part of RF's Annual Report.
The Foundation is a nonprofit organization responsible for the fiscal administration of revenues and support received for the promotion, development and advancement of the welfare of the university, and its students, faculty, staff and alumni. The Foundation receives the majority of its support and revenues through contributions, gifts and grants and provides benefits to its campus, students, faculty staff and alumni.
Campus Dining and Shops is a campus-based, legally separate, nonprofit organization that as an independent contractor operates, manages and promotes educationally related services for the benefit of the campus community.
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system built around a series of interrelated surveys that collect institution-level data in areas including enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty, staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid.
The university’s financial IPEDS data is compiled by the State University of New York (SUNY) Controllers Office based on a timeline.
| Date | Task |
|---|---|
| June 30 | SUNY fiscal year end |
| October | SUNY financial statement audit completed |
| November-January | SUNY Controller’s office prepare campus level financial reports |
| February-March | SUNY Controller’s office compile/submit June 30th campus financial IPEDS data and distribute campus level reports. |
| April | Deadline for SUNY to submit campus Financial IPEDS data. |

UB receives state appropriation to support its core operating budget from a combination of state tax dollar support and revenues from tuition and certain other sources (campus-retained revenues). The university needs to receive both appropriation and cash to support the total state appropriation budget.
State tax dollar support is categorized as support for the base budget, salary and utilities funding. This analysis excludes appropriation provided by the state for employee fringe benefit costs and debt service (as applicable), which are funded and paid directly by the state.
Campus-retained revenues collected by UB are required to be transmitted to the state in return for state appropriation. These revenues include tuition, college fees and interest collections.

In addition to state appropriations received to support UB’s core operating budget, UB receives appropriations earmarked for specific purposes. Prior to 2018-19, a portion of the university-wide appropriation received was included in the UB cost center. Beginning with 2018-19, all university-wide program resources are provided to UB via sub-allocation in the university-wide program’s cost center.

*** Due to COVID-19, spending was restricted and budgets were cut for 2020-21.
In addition to the $334.7 million in tuition revenue for undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, UB collects tuition revenues from overseas academic programs (OAP), summer session, winter session and contract courses that are excluded from this tuition analysis. As mandated by SUNY, tuition revenues for OAP, summer and winter sessions, and contract courses are reported separately from regular academic-year tuition.

The comprehensive fee is a consolidation of campus-required fees paid by students attending UB unless they meet waiver requirements. The components of the comprehensive fee are: athletics (undergraduate day students only), campus life, college, recreation (was included in athletics fee prior to 2016-17), student health, technology, transcript and transportation. The college fee component is excluded from the Comprehensive Fee Revenue chart because funding collected is transferred to the state and provided to the university as state appropriation. Additional information on the comprehensive fee can be found on UB’s Student Accounts Webpage – Comprehensive Fee.

Comprehensive fee revenue for prior years was updated due to change in GUSF reporting.
Combined revenue from residence halls and apartments is the largest component of auxiliary enterprises operating revenue. Other activity reported in auxiliary enterprises revenue includes sales and services, campus store operations, intercollegiate athletics and transportation.
Revenue from residence halls is accounted for in Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable (DIFR) state accounts, along with interest and investment income. Revenue from on-campus apartment rentals is administered through the University at Buffalo Foundation Faculty-Student Housing Corporation. Residence hall and apartment revenue must be spent on dorm operations. UB offers a wide variety of on-campus housing options at various costs that are designed around the needs of the students.

Various activities conducted at UB produce revenues that are used to enhance UB’s operations. The revenues are accounted for in Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR) accounts, State University Tuition Reimbursable accounts (SUTRA), UB Foundation (UBF) and Research Foundation (RF) through June 30, 2021.
These activities are grouped into five categories:
Sales and services revenue generating activities include rentals (excluding housing), continuing education, dental clinics, student health insurance, student orientation, inventions and licenses.
Activity revenues received by campus units in 2020-21 totaled $436.3 million. Investment income growth during this reporting period is attributed to favorable market fluctuations that occurred as a result of investment market volatility during the global pandemic.

Sponsored research programs generate two types of costs: direct costs and F&A costs (indirect costs). The indirect cost rate is calculated and assessed according to federal cost accounting standards. The calculated amount is recovered by UB and is used to support decanal units, several administrative units, research incentive programs and various other financial commitments, and to cover an annual administrative assessment by the Research Foundation (RF).
Net F&A cost recovery collected in 2020-21 was $40.2 million, which was $7.3 million or 22% higher than the $32.9 million earned in 2016-17. Reasons for the considerable increase in indirect costs from 2016-17 were:
The F&A cost recovery represents the amount earned rather than received as reported in Federal Grants and Contracts in UB’s Operating Revenues. In 2020-21, RF advanced UB $29.6 million for 2020-21 for 80% of initial estimated indirect earnings, along with $12.4 million which included investment funding of $5.7 million for the remaining 2019-20 balance. RF will pay the 2020-21 balance of $10.6 million plus earned investment income to UB in 2021-22.

This section reports on other financial activities within and outside of UB’s core operating activities. Analysis includes:
UB Foundation’s (UBF’s) endowment consists of 1,437 individual funds established for a variety of purposes, including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by UBF’s board of trustees to function as endowments. The endowment is managed as part of UBF’s long-term portfolio (‘LTP’) under the supervision of the UBF board’s investment committee. The primary investment objectives are to preserve the inflation-adjusted purchasing power of the LTP, including the endowment, and maintain spending support of UB’s educational initiatives. A professional, independent investment advisor assists in the administration of the LTP, with performance monitored by the investment committee. UBF targets a diversified asset allocation that offers a high probability of achieving the investment objectives commensurate with acceptable risk parameters.
