capital asset management

Requirements
Federal guidelines and MSU policy requires that CAM maintain and track all equipment over $5,000. If you wish to maintain and track your own equipment you may do so. However, the official source of equipment information resides in CAM.
Assets that are loaned to the university by government agencies are considered government-owned equipment and are identified as such on the Consignment Gift form. Government-owned equipment requires a "Property of U.S. Government" label.
