Resources for Boulder Campus Property Managers
Description: The new Property Q&A session, coordinated by OCG Property Officer, Penny Mathews, is a collaboration between OCG, the Campus Controllers Office, Property Accounting Office and campus partners. Property Q&A sessions will be hosted by a panel of Sponsored Project Specialists, Department Research Administrators and Department Financial Staff who are available to discuss property with anyone on campus who purchases, manages and/or tracks property.
No property knowledge is needed to join! Anyone interested in learning about property and networking with others on campus are welcome. The panel is available to provide guidance and answer questions around a variety of topics, including best practices, management of property and equipment purchased with University funds, tracking and tagging, inventory, closeout, disposal process, terms and conditions of sponsor titled and conditionally titled equipment, purchasing in marketplace, fabrications, use of Petty Cash and Gift Cards, campus policies and accounting functions, sponsor obligations related to award property clauses, and financial processes.
Property Q&A will meet quarterly.
Tips for Departments

Please remember, a department:Ìý
- Cannot give/sell the item to faculty/staff. С»ÆÊé holds auctions to provide equal opportunity to purchase an item.
- Cannot give/sell directly to a company/person/charity.
- Cannot allow a transferring PI to take an item without permission from С»ÆÊé and acceptance of the item from the receiving institution. Legally, С»ÆÊé transfers the item to the receiving institution, not the PI.

Property Disposal/Transfers/Donations off campus
As of April 2025 the disposal process has changed. All disposals for both capital equipment and non-capital equipment need to go through the Recoup system through Property Services. The Property Disposal form is no longer needed for disposing of capital equipment. ÌýFor questions about the Recoup system please reach out to Property Services at propserv@Colorado.edu .
- The only time the should be completed is when a department needs a piece of capital equipment removed from their inventory and nothing is physically being sent to Property Services for them to dispose of. ÌýLike when a department is cannibalizing a piece of capital equipment or when a piece of capital equipment has been returned to the manufacturer or sponsor. Ìý
