University Records Management Program
The University of Denver creates, manages, and uses a wide variety of records to conduct its affairs and support its educational mission, vision, values, and goals. Recognizing this, the University has instituted a University Records Management Program (URMP) and a set of policies governing the care and management of its records.
The purpose of the University Records Management Program is to assist the University in complying with external record-keeping requirements, managing University risk, and preserving the history of the University. The program will publish records retention schedules and guidelines and provide recommendations for the effective and efficient management of University records. This includes meeting legal requirements and best practices for record retention, ensuring the proper destruction of outdated records, protecting privacy, optimizing the use of space, and minimizing the cost of legal discovery.
