Follow the steps on this page to report inventorial equipment items that have been lost or stolen.

UCSD has two types of equipment:

  1. Inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more and must be tracked as property through EAMS (Equipment Asset Management System) and through UCSD’s financial system.
  2. Non-inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $1,500-$4,999 and must be tracked only through the financial system, not through EAMS.

  3. For more information on equipment, see Equipment Management Basics.
