Records Classification and Retention Schedule
The University-wide records classification plan and retention schedule is known as the University Records Schedule (URS).
This Schedule provides a structure and guidelines for the University to manage its departmental, faculty's and centre's records, both in paper and electronic format. It determines:
-
how to classify records;
-
how long the records must be kept;
-
how records should be disposed of, and;
-
when records reach their defined retention period.
The URS consists of 12 sections based on the common functions of the University (subject to review).
Administration (A)
Communications (C)
Governance (G)
Human Resources (H)
Information Technology and Information Management (I)
Research (R)
Support Services (P)
Teaching and Learning (T)
