Asset Move Requests

 

Each department will input work requests via the iService Desk  web site at http://tmatalk.kutztown.edu/ to have assets moved, surplused or scrapped.  .  If you have not attended training on the iService Desk system, please contact the Facilities Work Control Center at x31594. 

 

The Office of the Chancellor has defined the system’s Capital Assets to be items with a unit cost of $5,000 or greater.  Minor assets are all assets under that unit cost.  Please remember that each department is responsible for all departmental assets and should use assets only for university business.  Most movable assets have KU identification tags.  If you do not have KU tags on assets in your department that are less than $5,000.00, and/or you wish to acquire KU tags for your tracking needs, please contact Wilson Dagaye at x34135. 

 

For those who have had the basic iService Desk training, please follow the guidelines below for submitting work requests for asset moves (other than computer and computer-related assets).  Computer moves will be processed via the IT Help Desk.
