Records Management
One of the major objectives of the records management program is to identify and dispose of unneeded administrative records logically and legally. This site will help you determine what records need to be kept and for how long. To accomplish this, Records Schedules are created. A Records Schedule is a document that describes the records and sets forth the retention time and conditions for each set of records (or records series). Records Schedules are also known as Records Retention/Disposition Authorizations, or RDAs.
It is important for University offices to realize that, although records can and do exist in a wide variety of storage media, State and Federal laws still apply to how they manage the information contained in them.
Information contained on this web site is meant to provide basic guidance regarding the records management process. Departments are urged, and welcome, to contact Records Management with their specific comments and concerns.
