Retiring Assets - Assets should have their status updated in TDX to “retired” by Mission Support / IT before being picked up for disposal. Assets not present in TDX should be created by Mission Support / IT before disposing.

Tagged Items - All Assets purchased by the University $5,000 and over must be tagged and added to the department inventory and is reported to the State. It is your department’s responsibility to report disposal of these items to Property Control. More information here: NORMAN  -  HEALTH SCIENCE

If you need to dispose of any the items IT will not accept, you need to engage Property Surplus.  There are different processes for this depending upon your campus:

1. Norman - Complete a “Property Control Declaration for Property” form here.
