General Records Schedule


The State University Model Records Retention Schedule commonly called the General Records Schedule, is a tool for the staff and faculty of the Kentucky's public universities and to KCTCS institutions to use when managing the records in their offices. It lists common records series created by most units in the university, gives an assessment of their value by indicating when (and if) those records should be destroyed. The General Records Schedule provides administrative and support staff with the necessary information needed to administer unit records in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The records schedule is maintained, revised and approved by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives. The University Archivist and Records Officer is authorized to retain any record that he or she deems to have archival value.

If university personnel have questions, they should contact the records officer here at WKU.

The State University Model Schedule is now available in PDF form.
