This form should be used to request funding for extraordinary circumstances that require funding during a fiscal year after all other options have been exhausted. Requests will be reviewed and approved by Executive Leadership.

TFRs address an extraordinary challenge or opportunity that was not anticipated during the annual budget development process. A request may only be submitted once per year.

• Each request should demonstrate financial need after considering annual and carryforward budget resources of the department, program, and college/division.
• By submitting a request, you are affirming that you do not have sufficient resources in the department, program, and college/division to cover the one-time expense without a substantial disruption in operations.
• Requests for base funding for regular positions should be submitted during the annual budget request process, and not through the TFR process. If a position is required during the current fiscal year, one-time funding may be requested for an irregular (temporary) position until base funding is approved for a regular position during the budget request process.

Approval of this request provides for nonrecurring (one-time) funding of the project/initiative in the current fiscal year. Recurring funding requests will be considered only during the annual budget process. Since the annual budget process considers all funding requests, TFRs may not be submitted during the annual budget process cycle of April-June each fiscal year.
