University Budget Office 

Trust Fund Overview



University activities must have specific legal authority to be considered non-state funds, as specified by several statutes of the State of North Carolina. Approval authority for Upper Ledger 3 (35XXXX thru 39XXXX), some Ledger 7, and Ledger 9 projects is transitioning to the University Budget Office. Additional information will be posted on this page soon.
