As a comprehensive regional university, Central Washington University provides quality education to students at the baccalaureate and master's degree levels. The University fosters an environment which nurtures the physical, intellectual, social, and ethical development of each student. That environment is marked by small classes, residential and recreational programs, and a demonstrated concern for each student as an individual. Through extended university centers, Central also provides degree programs to place-bound students. Students enrolled at Central are typically residents of Washington, particularly the western and central regions of the state.

The goal of the University is to enhance the quality of its instructional programs while maintaining a reasonable level of student access.

Agency Local Funds

Stores Fund
This fund finances the Central Stores for plant maintenance and operational supplies. The fund was created from non-treasury sources and operates on a cost basis. Withdrawals from the inventory of the stores account are charged to operational activities of the University at cost and become a budgetary expense when so utilized by a budgetary unit. Reimbursement for withdrawls are revenue to the fund.
Work Force Fund
This fund accumulates costs of physical plant projects which are departmentally initiated and which are non-maintenance in nature. These costs are rebilled to departments.
Motor Pool Fund
This fund is for the automotive transportation services of the University. Charges for motor pool vehicles become operational costs to using departments and revenues to this fund. Vehicles are purchased through state contracts and disposed of by auction. The auction proceeds, less handling costs, are revenue to the fund.
Scheduling Center Fund
This fund is for providing space and equipment to campus community and recognized off-campus organizations. The billings and collection of rentals are handled by the fund.
Associated Students Fund
This fund is for student activities and programs (e.g., Student Union Building, student government, intramurals, recreation, etc.) and academically related activities (e.g., music, art, drama, athletics, radio, etc.). Revenue to the fund comes from assessed student activity fees and charges. The combined revenues provide adequate funding for retirement of bonded indebtedness and operational expenses.
Bookstore Fund
This fund operates as a business serving the students and faculty. Revenues consist of the sales to patrons.
Parking Fund
This fund provides for the construction and maintenance of parking areas. Revenue is provided by parking permit fees, meter receipts, and parking fines.
Housing and Food Service Fund
Housing and Food Service activities are operated as a business serving the housing and food needs of the students. The operations of the residence halls, food services, married student apartments, and bond redemption funds for Department of Housing and Urban Development-financed building construction are included in this fund. Revenues consist of sales and services to the students, building fees from students, and other miscellaneous sources
Scholarship and Fellowships Fund
This fund is for scholarship awards to qualified students selected by the Scholarship Committee. Revenues consist of amounts received from private individuals, charitable organizations, industry foundations, and other sources.
Student Loan Fund
This fund consists of small balances in accounts held for the express purpose of granting loans to qualified students under the policies established by the Student Loan Committee. Revenues and receipts come from interest collected on the loans and additions to the loan fund balances from student fees, private sources, and charitable and service organizations.
Long-Term Loan Fund
The 1981 Legislature designated 3.5 percent of general tuition and fee receipts for Guaranteed Student Loans. The Long-Term Loan Fund was established to account for this activity. Because of sufficient loan monies from commercial institutions, there was no need to implement the loan program. Subsequent sessions of the Legislature have authorized transfers from the fund for operational expenses and student financial assistance programs.
Duplicating and Office Supplies
This fund finances the central duplicating, office supplies and postage activities for the University. The fund was created from non-treasury sources and operates on a cost basis. Duplicating jobs and supplies and postage withdrawals charged to University departments are revenues to the fund.

Student Services

Return to Top

The Student Services program provides a variety of services necessary to support a student's attendance and eventual career placement. Equality of educational opportunity is promoted through administration of financial aid programs and the provision of specialized services to disadvantaged, minority, and handicapped students. Admissions, registration, and record-keeping functions provide the essential administrative support for student's attendance. Academic advising, health services, recreational activities, and career planning and placement are intended to enhance each student's ability to benefit from the University's instructional programs.

Objectives are to: respond effectively to the increased complexity of student aid programs; provide adequate services for educationally disadvantaged and ethnic minority students; and improve the quality and utility of placement services and data.
