University Department Search

Use this search to find your office's Record Group Number, Departmental Retention Schedule (if applicable), and Scanning Policy.

• Departmental Retention Schedules are used in conjunction with the University General Records Retention Schedule and are created for a specific office, department, or program that have a specific function and therefore create unique records. Records are expected to be destroyed/deleted at the end of their legally-approved retention periods.
• Scanning Policies were created prior to May 2026 by Records Management Services to provide specific guidelines for UW offices on how and where to scan their digital records. As of May 2026, UW units may now use the University-Wide Scanning requirements

to enable an office to destroy the paper versions of scanned records.
