Funds Source and Availability: Utah Valley University’s Career and Technical Education staff receives formal funding notification from the State of Utah within the first quarter of the academic fiscal year. The UVU CTE Office is generally approved to spend up to one-third of its approved allocation before October 1 of the current year. The remaining funds can be spent after UVU has received state notification within the second quarter of the year.
Those interested in applying for a single-occurrence special project should contact the CTE Office – we'd be happy to help explore options for your project (in consultation with the Office of Sponsored Programs).
The CTE Office will manage documentation to show compliance that Federal Funds are spent appropriately. Documents, such as the applications for both our Mountainland Regional Consortium and any internal applications from the departments at UVU, will be submitted to and maintained by the CTE office. Perkins Award allocation letters, Accountability Reports, and Inventory/Surplus records will also be required of both applicants and the CTE Office.
Mandated by federal regulations, the CTE Office and your department are required to maintain a current, complete and accurate inventory; which is available to unannounced inspection either from the CTE office, state or federal government representatives. To help you maintain proper records and be prepared for an inventory, this section outlines what you need to know.
Perkins requires that all items purchased with Perkins funds be inventoried and tagged with UVU and CTE property labels. Perkins Project Leads are accountable and responsible for submitting the CTE Perkins Summary of Inventory Equipment Form to the CTE Office within 10 days of receiving equipment.
Perkins Project Leads are accountable and responsible for submitting the CTE Perkins Surplus Form, to the CTE office within 10 days before disposal of equipment from your department.
The CTE Perkins Summary of Inventory Equipment is a listing of all equipment that was purchased with Perkins funds for each participant’s index. Participant will need to sign and return this summary to the CTE Office; this signed document will verify that the listed equipment was received. The Career and Technical Education Office will send the Perkins participant the CTE Perkins Summary of Inventory Equipment when their Perkins project(s) is closed.
Both the CTE Perkins Summary of Inventory Equipment and CTE Perkins Surplus Forms will need to have the following information:

After the expenditures or implementation of the Perkins Award, the project lead will need to fill out an accountability report. The following practices and guidelines will help you document stewardship of any allocated funds:
Year End Accountability Report: Per the CTE Carl D. Perkins IV Grant Guidelines and Procedures, the Final Report (End of Year Report) is due in March on the designated date (refer to Perkins calendar located on the CTE web site) for the current year. Refer to the Appropriate Uses of Perkins funds when completing the report. The End of Year Report and Appropriate Uses can be downloaded from the CTE web site.
Procurement: The purpose of procurement standards are designed to ensure appropriate expenditures and empower managers to make good spending decisions and be responsible stewards of University funds. The CTE Office requires that materials and services are obtained in an effective manner and in compliance with the provision of applicable Federal statutes and executive orders.
Financial Management and Accountability: Recipients of Perkins funding are responsible for following the UVU Finance and Procurement Manual, UVU Travel Policies and Procedures and UVU Human Resource procedures for personnel. As a state institution of higher education, Utah Valley University must ensure that all university funds are used only to support appropriate university business. When the expenditure is funded by a Federal Grant, the use of the funds will be governed by the most restrictive conditions of the grant or university policy.
