Considerations for Disposal of University-owned Computers

• For Equipment purchased with Sponsored Research Grant Funds, seek permission from the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs officer before initiating disposal.
• In all circumstances, users are required to completely erase all computer hard disk drives.
• Computers that are less than 6 years old should be made available for other departments to use via Asa's Attic for at least 5 days before sale or disposal by other means. Asa's Attic is administered by Purchasing Services.
• If you sell the equipment to another University department, use a Budget/Expense Reallocation Form to transfer the appropriate funds.
• If you sell the equipment to an individual or off-campus entity, use an Equipment Sales Agreement to properly record the sale terms and conditions.
• If you give away / donate the equipment, use an Equipment Transfer Agreement to properly record the transfer terms and conditions
