Loan of University Capital or Non-Capital equipment to an employees, must have prior departmental approval. Employees who are using state equipment at home must complete a Property Loan Agreement Form that is kept on file at the departmental level. It is the responsibility of each owner department to insure that such paperwork is complete and up to date, and reported to Property Management.
The department property designee verifies the due date by initialing the form. The approved form is to be maintained by the department property designee and a copy is forwarded to Property Management. A copy is to be provided to the borrower. Upon return of the loaned item, the department property designee acknowledges receipt on the Loan form.

The appropriate administrator is responsible for approving all “off-campus” loans of property.
