What is a general records schedule?A focus of the Archives and Records Management Service is to establish campus-wide, and UW-System-wide records retention schedules, usually called General Schedules. The purpose of general schedules is to codify retention policies for record types which are common to all offices across the organization. Rather than making each office secure its own specific retention schedule (as otherwise required by State Statute), the Archives and Records Management Service develops campus-wide general records retention schedules that set minimum retention policy for certain types of records. Campus units are required to follow the retention and disposition recommendations set out in these schedules for their similar records or submit their own RDA proposal for review and approval. Use the Common Records Guide as a quick reference for retention information for some of the most common records. The Guide includes links to the appropriate General Schedule. If you can't find a record on the Guide, try one of the General Schedules instead. Current General Records Schedules
