Records Retention & Disposition
UCCS follows a strict policy to ensure that university records are retained and disposed of in accordance with federal and state laws.
Records retention is the systematic management of university documents designed to meet legal requirements, optimize use of space, minimize cost, preserve the history of the university, and destroy outdated and useless records, through the deliberate identification and retention of necessary documents and the destruction of outdated and useless records in a documented and secure process.
Is your department disposing of records?
You must fill out and submit a Records Disposition Log.
When university records are to be disposed, departments are required to complete a records disposition log and send it to the Campus Controller's Office. Disposal of electronic records must also be recorded.
