Using the completed DRS:

□ Decide which electronic records to keep in Box or another approved location.

□ Decide which paper records to store in the University Records Center and which to store in the department.

□ Move finalized electronic records from the day-to-day work area to the University Records area of Box or other approved locations at least once a year where:

• Retention of records is managed.
• Historical records are preserved.

□ Send inactive paper records that have not met retention and are no longer needed by the department to the University Records Center using the eRTS app on the Records Liaison Hub. Please call 2-2828 for support.

□ Dispose of paper and electronic information (non-records) that are no longer needed by the department.*

*Suspend the deletion of all records and information if your department has received a Litigation Hold from the Office of the General Council (OGC).
