Understanding your Records Retention Schedule (30 minutes)
The records manager researches state and federal requirements, professional best practices, and policies set by peer institutions to draft new/updated schedules and/or records series. All Departments/Offices utilize records that are part of the Records Retention Schedule (RRS). Records and information made, received, or maintained by Emory University or Emory Healthcare pursuant of legal obligations or in the transaction of business must be managed in accordance with these schedules. This course provides a brief overview of the RRS and the records on the RRS that are specific to a particular Department/Office. Participants will be shown how to apply the RRS to the records they utilize. Participants will also be able to review and identify incomplete or missing series and potential conflicts with business practices and report to the Records Manager during the session. In addition, participants will be able to introduce records to the Records Manager for guidance relative to archival candidacy, offsite storage, destruction, and/or digital conversion.
Audience: All faculty and staff
