Surplus Property Policy & Procedures


SURPLUS PROPERTY POLICY & PROCEDURES FOR COMPUTERS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT

"Surplus property" at UWSP is defined by the State as "State property that does not meet program needs, does not function, is technically or mechanically obsolete, or is not needed in the foreseeable future to meet program responsibilities and has been replaced due to a replacement schedule."  Information Technology has been delegated the authority to review computers, printers, and other computer hardware to assure equipment functionality prior to delivery of items to the Surplus department.  Please disperse all technology items not needed in your department to Information Technology (contact Help Desk 346-HELP (4357) or 1-877-832-8977, helpdesk@uwsp.edu.) 

Technology equipment and equipment parts that are determined to be re-usable will be distributed on campus as needed.  This is of benefit to the Campus because equipment can often be repaired at little or no cost by utilizing spare parts obtained from pre-surplus equipment.

Property that is beyond its usefulness to the University will be sent to the Surplus Property Store for sale to the general public.  Due to licensing restrictions, personal computers are sold without operating systems or applications software.  All technology equipment (computers, monitors, printers, and related equipment) is sold as is.  The buyer receives NO warranty and NO guarantee.  Buyers are NOT entitled to receive repair, parts, advice, or any other service from UW-Stevens Point's Information Technology Department for any technology equipment purchased through UW-Stevens Point Surplus Sales.
