RM Home > Records Retention Schedules: Overview >
Developing Office-Specific Schedules
The Archivist for Records Management works with Records Coordinators and Records Contacts to develop and maintain records retention schedules for their offices. Please visit Tips and Training for more information on the roles these individuals play.
Records Contacts work with the Archives to create and maintain an inventory of all University Records within their areas of responsibility. Knowledge of the full extent of University Records helps the Archives address the unique needs of every office and provide ongoing guidance regarding records retention, disposition, and storage procedures.
A Records Inventory Worksheet is used to compile and maintain this information:
Working with each University office, the Archives assesses the office's current recordkeeping practices, discusses those practices with Records Contacts, and proposes office-specific records retention schedules. When the office and the Archives have agreed upon retention schedules, the Archivist for Records Management presents them to the Office of General Counsel for review and approval. Once approved by the Office of General Counsel, office-specific schedules remain in effect until formally amended or superseded. The Archivist for Records Management is available to assist Records Contacts in implementing and maintaining compliance with office-specific schedules.
Accessing Office-Specific Schedules
Office-specific records retention schedules are posted online with password-protected access as soon as they are finalized and approved by the Office of General Counsel. Log in to view office-specific schedules.
