The College Budget
A Budget represents what we are passionate about. It is the means by which we will achieve our Mission and change our little corner of the world.
YC’s Budget outlines how we will financially support our Strategic Plan, which in turn is designed to help us achieve the District Governing Board’s 3 Priorities of Education, Economic Development, and Community Enrichment.
This page includes several resources designed to help you learn more about the college’s finances:
- The Budget in Brief provides an overview of the budget for people with a general interest
- The Adopted Budget is a more in-depth presentation and explanation of the numbers.
- The Budget Calendar provides the timeline of Budget topics that have been or will be discussed with the Board and includes presentation materials for past meetings.
- At the bottom of the page, you can find 5 years of YC budgets presented in the State’s required format, as well as 5 years of Annual Comprehensive Financial Results.
