Procedure for Loan of Equipment for Long Term Off-Campus Use
- When appropriate and in the University's best interest, the University will allow individuals to borrow property (e.g., laptops, cameras) and use it
off-campus if:
- The individual is a faculty or staff member or a current student, and
- The individual signs and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Custody Form.
- Departments who wish to allow an employee or student to borrow equipment and use it off campus must:
- Designate an individual (MPP level) to approve the loans.
- Designate an individual to record and track the loans.
- Provide the name of the approver and record keeper to the Property Office. (Note: The approver and the record keeper may be one and the same if the department chooses.)
- Use the Custody form.
- The approver will ensure that all loan records are maintained and kept
current and are available for review/audit by the Property Office or external/internal auditors.
- Upon request from the Property Office, the record keeper will provide a
copy of the Custody form for verification. The Property Office will select departments to verify every six months. If the verification reveals a discrepancy between the loan records and the items on hand, the Property Office will notify the appropriate department administrator and Associate V.P. for Financial Management of the variance.
