The Property Custody Receipt should be kept on file with the Department Custodian and the user of said laptop. The Property Custody Receiptshould be filled out electronically except the Authorizing Official Signature which should be hand written.
In order to assign a property number we must have documentation that the item is University property. This is usually documented by the purchase order, Accounts Payable records of the item’s purchase, or the University Gift-In-Kind form (which is processed by the Development office). In some cases we can apply a property tag if the department’s property custodian provides a written statement that the item is University property and requests the item to be tagged and placed on the active inventory.
Items are removed from the list when the removal of the item is documented in accordance with University procedures, following the Property Survey Board’s approval. The authorized removal of items is usually performed by the Property Coordinator who records disposals with an official record. Items are also removed from the inventory list when a Missing Items Report is submitted and the subsequent survey is approved.
We have implemented a perpetual inventory process which is the responsibility of the Property Office. The Property Office will notify the departments at least one week prior to the planned visit however; an annual inventory is also a part of the plan.
No. The purpose of tagging property is to safeguard and track University property. Documenting the disposal of each tagged item shows management, auditors, and state taxpayers that the University is performing due diligence in safeguarding the scarce resources that are allocated to the University.
Several cases lead to this situation. The most common are:
- Items that are property of the IT department, which are not included on the using department's inventory, but remain on the IT inventory.
- Items that were purchased and tagged when the “tagging threshold” was lower than $500, and subsequently removed from the active inventory when the "tagging threshold" was raised.
- Items that have been moved, but not reported to the Property Coordinator as transfers to your department.
- Items that were not located during previous inventories and have been surveyed as missing. These items should be reported found and will be returned to the active inventory.
- Items that are owned by another department that shares space with your department.
If an item is disposed in a manner other than through the established procedures, the circumstances of its disposal must be documented with a Missing Items Report in order for the item to be surveyed and removed from the inventory.
Yes, after the property office posts an item to the Public Surplus site the general can then bid on the items. The various property control requirements with which the University is required to comply contain explicit guidance that employees may not have any advantage over the general public in opportunities to purchase unused property.
In most cases, yes. The University has been required to dramatically reduce the amount of material that is sent to the landfill.

When computers are disposed by the normal survey process, they are taken by either IT staff or Facilities to the IT Service Desk where data or data storage components are removed or wiped before the computer is delivered to Shipping and Receiving for recycling by Property Management. Your department may also contact IT to have sensitive data removed from computers. If you are disposing equipment other than computers that contain sensitive data you can contact IT for service.
No, the University is required to establish and maintain a procedure for safeguarding and surveying inventoried property, and all disposals of current inventory items must follow the established procedure.
