NDSU Policy Section 713, Records Management, has been revised and approved by President Chapman. The policy section was updated by a group from the Records Management Task Force in consultation with faculty representatives and a unit records coordinator.
Goals of the revision were to clarify the policy by spelling out the records management definitions and legal requirements, adding examples, and defining an ongoing Records Management Coordination Committee with broad representation.

The records inventory was submitted to ITD in Bismarck on Monday, March 31, 2008 for their review. The next step is approval from the officials in Bismarck as required by the North Dakota Century Code. The submitted materials included approximately 300 record series definitions for review by the Records Management Group, State Auditor, Attorney General, and State Archivist.
Final reviews are being conducted and we hope to have the complete record retention schedule published and start scheduling disposal of records past their retention period within the next few months.
