Delay in Presentation of the 2019-2020 Budget

The Université’s administration has decided to delay presentation of the 2019-2020 Budget until the Board of Governors’ meeting on June 8.

“Our draft Budget for 2019-2020 is based on a level of revenues from the provincial government that we will not be able to validate in time for the April Board of Governors’ meeting. The details of university funding will only be specified when the appropriations for the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour are tabled later in April. Therefore we will delay the budget presentation until June,” indicated the Interim President and Vice-Chancellor of the Université de Moncton, Jacques Paul Couturier.

Even if the 2019-2020 Budget is not adopted, regular operations will be able to continue when the new fiscal year begins on May 1.

The guidelines for the 2019-2020 Budget adopted by the Board of Governors emphasize the need to invest in strategic areas and in the quality of the student experience, in particular by improving student support services. These principles will guide the preparation of the next budget, which will be presented to the Board of Governors.

For more information on these guiding principles or other data on changes in enrolment over the last four years, predicted enrolment for next year and last four budgets of the Université de Moncton, please visit the section Tendances on the Vers l’U de M 2020 microsite.
