Why Should I Transfer My Department's Records to the Archives?
There are many reasons to transfer your department records to the archives! One reason may be the records are taking up too much space in your office. By law, some records are meant to be permanently kept or immediately disposed of. Other records are used in Middle States accreditation.
What is a Retention and Disposition Schedule?
All SUNY campuses follow the SUNY Retention and Disposition Schedules. These schedules outline a minimum amount of time records and documents must be retained at a college. Some records can be disposed of immediately like a syllabus or statistical reports on admission activities. Other records are required to be kept permanently like self-study records and student transcripts.
How Do I Use a Retention and Disposition Schedule?
Great question! On the SUNY Retention and Disposition Schedules, simply select your department. A link will take you to the Retention and Disposition Schedules. These Schedules include the type of record, minimum retention period, and reason for the proposed time.
Will I Have Access to My Documents After I Transfer Them to the Archives?
Absolutely! You can request to view or borrow any of your department's records from the Archivist.
Can I Restrict Public Access to My Department Records?
If you are concerned about public access to your department's records, please contact the Archivist.
