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 provide guidelines for scanning and enable an office to destroy the paper versions of scanned records. Note: UW departments may not destroy paper versions of scanned records without a Scanning Policy. Interested in creating a Scanning Policy?
