Academic Affairs Records Schedule

This retention schedule arranges academic records into common activities and groupings (“series”) of records and assigns a code (e.g., AA-020), retention period, and disposal action for each series.

Responsibility for the retention and disposal of academic records is shared among academic offices and, in the case of exams and course work, individual academic staff.For each records series, an office of primary interest (OPI) is indicated. This is the office or individual responsible for retaining and disposing of the given records series in accordance with this schedule. Duplicates of certain records may be located in other, non-OPI offices. A separate retention period and disposition action for duplicates is provided where appropriate.

The retention periods listed constitute both “minimum” and “maximum” retention periods. Records must be kept for the duration of the retention period and then, as soon as reasonably practicable, be disposed as directed by the schedule (i.e., destruction or transfer to the University Archives). A record may be retained after its retention period has elapsed in certain circumstances including ongoing administrative need; to process complaints, audits, or legal proceedings; or with appropriate consent. In no case should a record be destroyed before its retention period has elapsed.

More than one of the following codes may apply to a given record. If you are unsure which schedule code is appropriate, contact your supervisor orda.elves@uwinnipeg.cafor assistance. Retention periods are media neutral and apply to records in any format, paper or electronic.

For the purpose of this schedule, an academic year is September 1 –> August 31.

This schedule is arranged into 8 activities, each a major task required to carry out the academic function:

Do not destroy any record subject to a records hold notice or that relates to an ongoing or anticipated complaint, audit, or legal proceeding.
