PCS 214: Protecting Personally Owned Equipment

To prevent loss of personally owned equipment at ASU

Property Control

ASU accepts no responsibility for personally owned equipment lost or stolen at ASU. However, if personally owned property is being used for university business, generally the property will be covered by Insurance Services. Exceptions include stereo equipment, radios, pictures, paintings, fans, and general property not being used for university purposes.

Individuals who have personally owned equipment on campus should take the following precautions to avoid the possibility of its being mistaken for ASU equipment.

1. Mark the equipment for identification of ownership.
2. Provide the department head with a list of personally owned equipment being used for university purposes.

Should confusion arise, proof of ownership rests with the individual, not ASU.

For information on reporting lost, stolen, or found property, see:
