University General Records Retention Schedule
The University General Records Retention Schedule identifies and
describes records created or received by an office and provides
instruction on how long to keep those records. The General Records
Retention Schedule is a legal document that acts as an insurance
policy designed to protect both the University and your office
legally and fiscally.
By routinely following the General Schedule you assure the
credibility and soundness of your records maintenance procedures in
the event of audit or litigation. More practically, disposing of
records according to schedule promotes and increases office
efficiency by saving time, space, and money spent on storage and
staffing.
