Cal Poly OpenBook Portal


In an ongoing effort to provide the campus community with access to Cal Poly’s financial data, the University Budget & Fiscal Planning Department creates a variety of reports relevant to the campus. Typically these reports are static pdf documents that are produced at specific points during the fiscal year.

But sometimes there’s nothing like being able to manipulate the data yourself, i.e. slice and dice it, view it in a variety of graphic charts and tables, or download it to an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis.

In order to assist the campus community with this initiative, Cal Poly has deployed OpenBook for this use. We will be maintaining this site to include five (5) years of historical financial data to explore.

Tips on How to Use the Site

OpenBook contains five (5) fiscal years of financial data for the following fund categories: CSU General Operating Fund (the main operating fund for instruction and support), Cal Poly Plan, College Based Fee, and Student Success Fee. The links below provide additional information for navigating OpenBook and as we continue to improve this site, additional guides will become available.
