Property & Surplus Services

The function of the KPC Property Dept is to account for and help safeguard all University owned property and to comply with all applicable state, federal and University laws and regulations. This involves coordinating the annual physical inventory, recording acquisitions, deletions and other changes, and managing the disposal of surplus property.
To accomplish these goals, any relocation, off campus use, or disposal of any University owned equipment must be coordinated through the KPC Property Custodian.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dispose of a property item?

The first step is to contact the Property Custodian who will assist you with completing any forms that may be necessary and will help coordinate pickup and disposal of the item. It is important to remember that University owned equipment may not be disposed of or relocated without prior written consent.

What happens to disposed equipment?

If the item is non functional, the property coordinator will request authorization to destroy it. Upon approval, the item is crushed and taken to the landfill. The destruction is witnessed by at least two University employees. For efficiency, these items are stored and destroyed in batches.

If the item is still functional, it is made available to other University departments. If no other department has a use for it, it is stored and eventually made available for sale to the general public.

May I use University owned equipment off campus?

Off campus use of property is allowed only for completion of University related business or projects. An Authorization For Off Campus Use form must be completed, signed by the College Director, and submitted to the Property Coordinator. Off campus use is allowed for a limited time only. Items must be returned by the date indicated on the approval form and must be checked in through the property coordinator upon its return. Personal use of University property is prohibited
