Teleworking employees should review University Records Guidance While Working Remotely for information on records retention rules.
General information
The Department Records Manager Contact (DRMC) is responsible for coordinating the disposition of records for their unit, and ensuring compliance with university records management policy and procedures. DRMCs are listed in the OHS Contacts System (EID required).
Detailed guidance on the records disposition process and links to required forms is available at Records and Information Management Services (RIMS): Request to Dispose of Records.
Records Management training is highly encouraged for all university employees - see RIMS' Records Management Training page for details.
