Definitions

University records are defined as evidence of the University’s business functions and activities. Records can be stored in paper, electronic or other formats and it is the role of this office to seek a consistent and efficient policy across formats.

Records, information and knowledge travel through a life-cycle from their creation or receipt, through maintenance (including record keeping), sometimes to a dormant stage (for example, retention for business benefit or for prescribed legal reasons) before disposition, whether it is archiving or appropriate forms of destruction.
