Records Management for UIC Staff

The University Archives works with campus units to identify historical records and to develop record management programs in accordance with the following rules, regulations, and laws:

One of the major objectives of the records management program is to identify and dispose of unneeded administrative records logically and legally. The University Archives helps campus offices determine what records need to be kept and for how long. To accomplish this, Records Schedules are created. A Records Schedule is a document that describes the records and sets forth the retention time and conditions for each set of records (or records series). Records Schedules are also known as Records Disposition Authorizations, or RDAs. The University Archives assists offices in managing all information, regardless of form or format. It is important for University offices to realize that, although records can and do exist in a wide variety of storage media, State and Federal laws still apply to how they manage the information contained in them.
