Asset Management

Tracks state equipment on campus, oversees Capital Equipment Inventory and monitors minor equipment on a three-year cycle.   We maintain a list of surplus property available for reuse by any university department, as well as maintain a Public Surplus Web Site for on line auctions of furniture, fixtures, and equipment open to the general public.  We also work with local public and nonprofit agencies to recycle obsolete equipment, and oversee our campus electronic recycling efforts.

Asset Management Procedures:

Relocation of Surplus & Surveyed Equipment:

Asset Management will coordinate the relocation of surveyed equipment. The requesting department may initiate the process by completing the Surplus Property Request Form (Form 116).

Departments must use the surplus Property Request Form to request the pickup of all surplus or obsolete equipment/furniture even if not tagged. All pickups will be free of charge and scheduled to occur in the order in which the requests are received. Pickup will be the responsibility of PPM's Postal and Delivery Services who will confirm and schedule all pickups.

Departments with immediate needs to survey equipment may do so by opening a chargeback requisition to Postal & Delivery Services (service provider “PDS”) to cover labor costs associated with the request. Charges will be billed at the current chargeback rate posted on the PPM webpage. Requestors must complete and submit the Surplus Property Request Form to Asset Management prior to submitting the chargeback. Postal and Delivery Services will call to schedule and expedite the pickup.

CSUN Employees may receive email notifications when trackable items are received in Central Receiving as well as In-Transit notifications when packages are on their way to campus locations.
