What is a records retention and disposition schedule?
A. A records schedule is a tool for the employees of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to use when managing the records of the university. It lists records found in an office and gives an assessment of their value by indicating when (and if) those records should be destroyed. The schedule is also an agreement between the office, the University Archives and Records Service (UARS) and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (DCR). This schedule serves as the inventory and schedule that the Department of Cultural Resources is directed by North Carolina General Statutes 121-5 (c) and 132-8 to provide. It supersedes all previous editions, including all amendments.
