On August 10, 2026, UVU's President’s Council approved the following policy actions:
Compliance Changes
Policy 421 Property and Equipment
Approval Process: Compliance
Policy Sponsor: Jim Mortensen
Policy Steward: Kedric Black
Policy Action: Revision
President's Council Action: Approval to enter the Policy Manual
Policy Document: Policy 421
Who does this apply to? All employees
Why were compliance changes made to this policy? The Utah Board of Higher Education recently made changes to Policies R561 and R572, which increased the capitalization threshold for assets from $5,000 to $10,000. As we are at the beginning of a new fiscal year, we would like to implement this change as soon as possible. In the policy, we will change asset capitalization amounts from $5,000 to $10,000.
Now that this policy is in effect in the Policy Manual, what does this mean for me? Employees involved in purchasing decisions may want to become familiar with these changes.
