Tagging Equipment


Under Internal Governing Policy #163, custodians are responsible for safeguarding equipment, maintaining proper accountability over equipment. Tags and the Banner Fixed Asset system are available to assist custodians with this responsibility.

When payment is made for the item, the Business Office will send you a tag in campus mail.

Blue tags are provided for items costing between $100.01 and $499.99. Custodians should affix this blue tag to the item. The Banner Fixed Assets system does not maintain a permanent record of these items. However, custodians are responsible for tracking, maintaining, and safeguarding this equipment.

Red, numbered tags are provided for items $500.00 or over. Items costing below $500.00 may receive a red, numbered tag if they are considered to be high-theft items, such as cameras, CD/DVD players, Palm Pilots, etc. Custodians should affix these tags to the piece of equipment and write the tag number with a marking device in an inconspicuous place on the equipment. The Banner Fixed Assets system tracks these items. Custodians may view information about a tag using form FFIMAST.

If tags become separated from the item, please request a new tag from Joni Lutz in the Business Office (581-8327).
