Budgetary Unit
Each unit at UGA that may have accounts assigned to it must have a unique three-digit designator, called the Budgetary Unit Code (BUC). BUCs are assigned to units by UGA Accounting. Units with BUCs include colleges, schools, departments, centers, institutes and other administrative offices. When the financial account for the award is created, the Management Unit’s BUC will be utilized as the unit number for the primary account. BUCs are also used to indicate units that share F&A return.
