The Property Department's mission includes four distinct areas of responsibility:
- Data and paper management of Property Records
- Bar-coding, recording, and permanent identification of new OCO purchases.
- Accounting for, coordinating, scheduling, and performing an annual, centralized, automated inventory of University property located on all campuses and remote sites.
- Coordinating and scheduling the disposal of all surplus University Property.
Surplus Property - Information and Procedures
Bar-Coding and "Attractive" Items
The current limit for bar-coding OCO assets is a threshold value of $1,000. or greater. However, there are many items that are susceptible to theft and considered attractive; they should be identified as property of Florida Atlantic University by the accountable department. While the Property Department does not track these items, we will provide asset labels for departmental use to perform this identification task. The department will need to maintain appropriate records on these items. Such items for consideration would be cameras (digital, photo, video), printers, stereos, some computers and printers, musical instruments, and small, scientific instrumentation and electronics.
Custodial Responsibility
The custodial responsibility for University Property is delegated to administrative heads of departments (Accountable Officers) to which property is assigned. The Property Department will assist in what ever ways possible to assist with this accountability. There are several Property Forms provided on this site to assist with the documentation of property records and transactions.
