This model schedule for state universities was adopted on March 10, 1994. The Records Retention Schedule identifies records by series, title, and description; gives the retention period and disposition instructions; and provides legal authority to destroy records.

The destruction certificate is to be completed by your department and mailed to Laurene Zaporozhetz, Dean of Libraries/Records Manager, Waterfield Library for approval.

Your office will be contacted as to when the records may be destroyed
