Departments are encouraged to view surplus items during the hours of operation. There is no cost for departments to claim surplused materials or equipment, but the item(s) must be used by the department and are not permitted to leave campus, be sold, or given to individuals for personal use. In some cases items can be donated, please review our donation procedures for more information.
In most cases an internal work order through the labor crew can be used to transfer the items, however if items have an NKU Asset tag then a Surplus Transfer Form must be filled to transfer the items to the receiving department's inventory. Please review our "How to Surplus Equipment and Computers" policy for further detail.
NKU has recently partnered with GovDeals.com to auction off surplus equipment. If you have any interest in bidding on the equipment please visit: www.govdeals.com/nku
