Records Management

Records Management
All UCI employees who handle administrative records are responsible for the efficient and systematic management of their creation, receipt, maintenance, use, and disposition, in accordance with relevant laws and university policy. All records are owned by The Regents of the University of California, and most should be discarded in a timely manner in accordance to the UC Records Retention Schedule. Other records have enduring historical value and should be retained permanently in the UCI Archives.
