What is it?
The University Records Retention and Disposal Authority (RDA) sets out the requirements for the destruction of all types of University records, in line with legislative and business needs. The resource is an instrument under the Records Management Policy and supports the application of the University Privacy Policy.
What information is subject to the University Records RDA?Any recorded information, in any format (e.g. electronic documents, data, hard-copy material) created or received by staff of the University in the course of conducting their duties.
What has
happened?
Records Services worked with internal stakeholders and the Public Record Office Victoria to reduce the number of categories and streamline the data retention rules to ensure it is easier to embed compliance requirements into University systems.
What are the key changes?
The number of categories has been reduced from 1304 to 364, the user experience has been improved by moving the resource to the University of Melbourne web environment, and there's a new numbering schema.
Content Manager users, please note that any new folders created will need the new classifications/categories and numbers applied.
