Records Management

General Records Schedules

General Records Schedules list most records produced by UW institutions or the Wisconsin Department of Administration, and they include:

• a description of the record,
• its retention period (how long you must keep it),
• the method of disposal or transfer,
• a directive on copies, and
• if the record contains confidential information.

It is written on a UW System or State Agency level and applies to all schools that opt in to the schedule or all relevant State Agencies.

How do I know which GRSs apply to me?

Most GRSs have something for every department. Receipts, minutes, personnel records, email, and other records are produced universally. Take a look at GRSs to find your records.
