1. Transfer: Transferring to another Department with a use for the item is the best method of disposition. A Department wishing to accept an item available for transfer will notify the Property Control section and receive approval for the transfer.  Transfers between departments will be accomplished by means of an Interdepartmental Property Movement or Transfer form. Get the Longwood University Transfer form.

2. Disposal as a result of lack of need. When an item is no longer needed by a department and no other department is known to have a need for it, the following procedure is applicable. A Surplus form must be completed and submitted to the Property Control clerk with the item to be surplused.   Item(s) will not be picked up without the completed form,   Get the Longwood University Surplus Property form
