Year-End Instructions (lapse, carry forward, etc.):

Because 102 is a UW System GPO appropriation, the 102 budget at the institution level is a combination of 102 GPR funds and 131 program revenue funds. Thus, with approval from System Administration any non-fringe benefit unexpended and/or unencumbered balance in 102 at the end of the fiscal year may be carried forward to the new fiscal year. There is no cash balance to carry forward. Open encumbrances carried to the new fiscal year are budgeted and accounted for in appropriation 102 on the UW records and 131 on the Department of Administration records. Refunds of prior year expenditures are deposited to appropriation 131 as receipts (9209).

Special Instructions on Salaries/Fringe Benefits:

Budget transfers off the salaries/fringe benefits line are not allowed at any time for this appropriation.
