What are records retention schedules?
As a public institution, Missouri State University is required to maintain certain records for a designated period of time. The records retention schedules (or Agency Records Disposition Schedules) identify which records must be maintained and for how long, as well as how to dispose of the records at the end of that period. Records may be scheduled for retention in the office, for destruction, or for transfer to the Archives. Not all records merit permanent preservation in the Archives.
