Records Retention Quick Sheet

Documents and records produced at Texas A&M are public and have a retention policy that is established by Texas statute. In addition, these documents must not be thrown away, but properly destroyed and have the destruction documented and recorded on file with the records management office at Texas A&M. Once the retention period has passed, contact Scott Morris for proper procedures and documentation.
