Colorado State Records Management Manual Schedule No. 8 – Higher Education lists the permanently valuable records that should be retained and properly protected, as well as provides the timetables that will allow agency officials to legally dispose of records of non-permanent value. The retention periods outlined indicate the minimum length of time that the record copy should be retained before disposal can take place. It applies to the record, regardless of how it is stored (electronic, microfilm, digital image, paper, audio or video recording, etc.). Please contact the College Records Manager with any questions.
