Records Retention Schedule

University Records Retention Schedule

Texas State University's Records Retention Schedule (RRS) was approved by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and remains in effect through December 2029.

This authoritative schedule:

  • Defines 12 standardized data fields to ensure consistency and clarity including: Records Series Title, Retention Codes, and Archival Status.
  • Specifies retention periods in years, months, or days based on state law, regulatory needs, and internal operations.
  • Incorporates retention and archival codes (e.g., AC, AV, O, PM) which indicate when disposal eligibility begins.

Why it matters:

  • Records not listed on the approved schedule may not be destroyed without written permission from TSLAC's Executive Director.
  • Adherence reduces legal risk, supports compliance (state, federal, institutional), and helps departments manage records efficiently.
  • Includes a clause: if a federal or state law mandates longer retention, that supersedes.
