Non-Capital Equipment Department Inventory

Contact Information

If you would like further information on non-capital equipment inventory tags, please contact us at Equipment@northwestern.edu.

The University's main equipment inventory covers all capital equipment with a minimum cost of $5,000 and a useful life of one year or more. The vast majority of computers cost under $5,000 (non-capital) and are not included in NU's inventory.

For departments who want to inventory their computers, or other non-capital equipment, the University provides inventory tags and an Excel template to track department equipment. The departments will provide their own labor to set up and maintain their inventories.
