13 Texas Administrative Code 6.1 (13) defines a record series as, “a group of identical or related records that are normally used and/or filed together and that permit evaluations as a group for retention scheduling purposes.”
Using record series allows us to refer to groups of records instead of each individual record. This simplifies retention scheduling .

The state schedule has been adopted as an administrative rule of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. The schedule indicates the minimum length of time the listed records series must be retained by state agencies before they are destroyed or transferred for archival preservation.

The UT Arlington schedule lists all official university records and states how long the University retains the records. Our schedule must be in line with the State schedule.
Official UT Arlington records may not be destroyed
unless they are listed on the state-certified UT Arlington records retention schedule. When an unlisted official university record is identified, please contact RIM in Net Solutions for resolution.

A long and high-profile process that begins with the Vice President for Business Affairs and Controller and ends with a letter to the President.
Amendments will be initiated based on critical needs: if not an emergency, they will be batched for processing quarterly or processed as part of the recertification process every three years.

Is it really just “correspondence”?
Is it “administrative” or “general” correspondence?
How do we retrieve “correspondence” files?
Is administrative correspondence “archival”?
NEVER file under “miscellaneous”!!!

Retention applies to the content, not the medium.
All official record copies of university records listed on the retention schedule must be deleted when retention has been met, and they must be listed on a records disposition log.
Official record copies of university records maintained electronically must be maintained according to State regulations.
If email contains official record copies of university records, the rules apply to those records also.
