Tips for Departments

• Having trouble keeping track of which room your equipment has been moved to - see the Best Practices tab for a helpful poster.

Please remember, a department: 

• Cannot give/sell the item to faculty/staff. CU 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 CU and acceptance of the item from the receiving institution. Legally, CU transfers the item to the receiving institution, not the PI.
