Property Control
Property Control is responsible for the administration of the provisions of the State of Illinois Property Control Act, especially as it relates to items of equipment.
General Policy
Property belonging to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, regardless of value, is controlled under the provisions of the State of Illinois Property Control Act, and is subject to the regulations of the Department of Central Management Services as "state-owned property." The chancellor of the university is accountable for supervision, control, and inventory of all state-owned property in the custody of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. These custodianship duties and responsibilities, for property purchased by or assigned to a unit, have been delegated to the unit officer of that unit.

Training
As we gear up for the annual fixed asset inventory, we are excited to update you on an innovative solution designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of our equipment inventory process. Property Control hosted five hands-on training sessions for the Inventory Scanner mobile application. If you were not able to attend one of our trainings, please use the presendation slides as a reference. If you have any questions about the inventory process or the mobile application use, email propertycontrol@siu.edu and we will setup additional training.
Unit Officer Delegation
This desktop-only application allows a Unit Officer to designate one Unit Officer Delegate per unit, who is empowered to approve or revoke equipment inventory transactions as needed. To access the Delegate Request Application, please use the following link: Unit Officer Delegate Request Form - Power Apps This added flexibility helps your team manage inventory tasks even when the primary Unit Officer isn’t available.
Mobile Application User Access
New users of the Inventory Scanner application must complete the SIU Inventory Access Request form. Once approved, use the Mobile Application Installation Instructions to install and configue our new mobile inventory application.
