Instructions for the 131 Profit Template

The template is filled out as part of the annual Budget Build process in L&S. L&S Departments/programs with 131 profit accounts need to complete this budget build document. 131 profit accounts include profit from Summer Term and 131 programs (professional masters, professional certificates, and VISP).
