Retention and filing guidelines

CY=Current year CS = Current semester

ELECTRONIC RECORDS

Records creators should note that this RRSDA applies equally to paper and electronic records and that they are responsible for deleting any records maintained in electronic form at the expiration of the total retention period (e.g. PDF versions, spreadsheets, database records, e-mail correspondence, etc.). Maintaining electronic copies of records with personal information after the recommended retention period places an undue burden on the University to continue to guard against the unauthorized access, use and disclosure of that personal information in accordance with the FOI/ POP Act and the records series' status as a PIB.

Status

RRSDA is in force.
