Records Management

Records management at UW-Parkside: What do I keep? What do I toss? What goes to the archives?

GRSs

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. Look at the searchable GRS spreadsheet below or take a look at the full GRSs to find your records.
