The Dean’s Office allocates fiscal resources to departments and faculty for numerous academic and other purposes. The College has a “use it or lose it” policy: that is, most funds have an expiration date. Near the end of each fiscal year, expired funds are reclaimed, or “swept,” by the Dean’s Office, and repurposed for College-wide priorities. Funds are swept based on the following schedule:
