The University of Strathclyde recognises the importance of records management. In accordance with legislative requirements and good records management practice we are working to develop bespoke records retention schedules for the University to ensure our records are managed effectively.
Retention schedules are available for some specific record types as set out below.
- Student Retention Schedule Centrally-Held Records
- Staff Retention Schedule v1.0
- University Governance
- Student Conduct, Discipline, Complaints and Appeals
For other records, not covered by the schedules above, we refer to the retention periods set out in the JISC Records Retention Schedule for HEIs. This is sector-specific best practice and is based on extensive research and consultation with a wide range of institutions across the UK available at:
