Auxiliary Enterprise Programs
An Auxiliary Enterprise is an entity which exists to furnish goods or services to students, faculty, or staff. Each institution‘s auxiliary system, as well as its intercollegiate athletic program, must meet the test of self-supporting, including direct and indirect costs. As such, these funds are designated to support auxiliary operations.
At VCU, Auxiliary Enterprise programs are principally comprised of:
- VCU Athletics
- Residential Life and Housing
- VCU Dining Services
- Parking and Transportation
- and student activities, such as RecWell, Student Health Services, Counseling Services, and more.
For these programs, funding comes from a combination of charges for services and the student university fee which is part of mandatory fees. The state does not provide any monetary support, either for operating cost of maintenance, or construction of facilities.
