UW School of Dentistry General Records Retention Schedule

This retention schedule provides a listing of records common throughout the School of Dentistry clinics. Although many of these records are now contained in CMS (or current database), the retention periods are still applicable to both the electronic and any remaining hardcopy records. Please note, if you do not have these records, you are not required to create them. Because the functions of clinics differ, you may also have a Departmental Retention Schedule for those records which are unique to your clinic. If a record being created by your clinic is not found on this retention schedule or a Departmental Retention Schedule, please contact Records Management Services at 543-0573 or urc@u.washington.edu.

For all other records, please use the UW General Records Retention Schedule.
