L&S Fund Management: Program Codes
Quick overview of Program Code meanings
Program Code = The single digit code that identifies the general purpose of the expense.
This is part of the funding string: FUND | DEPT | PROJECT | PROGRAM | ACCOUNT CODE
101 - A480200 - 2 - 3100
Program Codes (formerly known as activity codes) are fully defined by UW System here.
The primary program codes L&S departments use are:
| 0 | Student Services (in L&S, typically only in large organizations focused specifically on student services like Student Academic Affairs) |
| 2 | Instruction |
| 4 | Research |
| 5 | Outreach/public service |
| 6 | Academic support (college administration, libraries, sabbaticals, faculty development grants) |
| 9 | Financial aid (limited exposure in L&S) |
This is a list of program codes used most frequently in L&S and not intended to be all inclusive. Please contact the L&S Budget Office with any questions.
