How long must a temporary university record be retained?
As long as the appropriate retention schedule specifies. Refer to General Schedule 111 for information regarding mandatory retention time periods before the disposal of university records can take place. If you have unique records, or if there are special circumstances that make it necessary to retain your records beyond the normal retention period (such as records involving in an ongoing or pending lawsuit, records with special audit requirements, and certain records involving federal funds), please contact the Records Manager so a customized retention schedule can be devised for the records in question. After all requirements have been met, including the completion of any pending audits or litigation, then the disposal of university records can take place.
