FAQ
What is the purpose of this system?
The Capital Assets Lease Approval Online Database is replacing a process of lease submissions via Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. In addition to allowing for new submissions, this website allows each institution to view existing lease submissions and update submissions that have not yet been processed.
How do I get my username/password or what if I forget my username/password?
To get your assigned username and password, contact your Capital Assets point-of-contact at CCHE. If you have forgotten your password, you can recover it by using the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. It will send your password to the email on record.
What do I do with the lease Excel spreadsheet that I have already completed?
You must complete the online form. You may copy & paste the data items from the spreadsheet into the textboxes online. After completing the online form, you can attach (upload) the spreadsheet as a supporting document to be stored with the lease.
How can I renew an old lease without having to retype ALL of the information?
On the main summary page, locate the "Approved" or "Archived" lease and click the "Renew" icon/link for that lease. It will insert a new lease with most of the data points completed. You will have to enter a new date range, rentable space, and amounts. The lease then follows the normal approval process.
What is a SESSION TIMEOUT?
A session timeout is the limit to how long you can be logged into the system, without any activity, before being logged off. "Activity" is defined by clicking a link forcing the loading of a page. When entering a new lease, it may require you to fill out a lot of information, some of which may require you to make some phone calls or send some emails to verify details. In these cases when you may remain inactive for more than 15 minutes, you can click "Submit Changes" and force the page to refresh. You may receive a message stating that you are missing some information, but this keeps your session active.

Contract Type
  • Gross - A lease that provides that the Landlord shall pay all expenses of the leased property, such as taxes, insurance, all maintenance, utilities, building management, and other operating expenses. Costs such as telephone and network service costs are not costs associated with the building, therefore these are typically paid by the tenant.
  • Net - A lease that provides that the Tenant shall pay, in addition to the base rent, all expenses of the lease property, except those maintenance costs associated with the building structure, such as the roof, foundation, etc.
  • Modified Gross - A lease that provides that the Tenant shall pay, in addition to base rent, some expenses of the lease property, such as the cost of metered utilities and maintenance of the premises.
