Retirement/ Obsolescence

If a piece of equipment over $5,000 is sold, scrapped or otherwise disposed of, several notifications need to be made to different areas on campus:

• Computing and Technology Services (CTS) should be notified if computer equipment is being discarded.
• Property Accounting should be notified prior to disposition of the equipment so that the property and equipment can be identified and removed from the perpetual inventory system if necessary.

The Property Accounting Form needs filled out with as much information as possible about the asset.

Where to Send the Form:

This form should be printed, mailed/ or emailed/ or faxed to:

Kathleen Karner
Room 213, Administration Building or karnerk@duq.edu.
Fax: 412.396.1173

Please Note:

When an asset is sold, the department is responsible to provide copies of approvals and payments (if applicable) made to “ Duquesne University.”

If equipment becomes obsolete (outdated) or unusable, it should be reported to the Property Accounting Department, even if the item(s) is not scrapped. 

Transfers

If a piece of equipment over $5,000 is transferred from one building to another or moved from one department to another, the Property Accounting Form must be completed. Please provide as much descriptive information as possible about the asset.
