Off Campus Authorization Form:
Discussion: When equipment is taken off the University campus for business use, a copy of this authorization form must be completed and handled in the following manner:
- For capital equipment (acquisition cost $5,000 or greater), the completed form must be sent to Property Accounting, 416 Park.
- For insurable equipment (acquisition cost $1,000 – 4,999.99) retain the form in the department.
Property Accounting must be notified, in writing, within three (3) days of permanent return
of the property to Campus.
When equipment is removed from campus, there is often an increased chance for loss – especially theft. Therefore, every reasonable precaution should be taken to prevent damage or loss to that equipment.

OMB Circular A-21 (Office of Management and Budget):
Discussion: This Circular establishes principles for determining costs applicable to grants, contracts, and other agreements with educational institutions. The principles deal with the subject of cost determination, and make no attempt to identify the circumstances or dictate the extent of agency and institutional participation in the financing of a particular project. The principles are designed to provide that the Federal Government bear its fair share of total costs, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except where restricted or prohibited by law.
