Records Management, Archiving And Retention
Guidance on archiving and records management is available via the CICS website.
Before considering the disposal of any archived examination results data within your department, please check first with your Faculty contact in the Taught Programmes Office, to ensure that material is not lost, where the only copy within the University may be held in your department.
Consideration should be given to retaining copies of Departmental Student/Course Handbooks, which may contain more detailed information about the curriculum, syllabi, programmes, modules, departmental assessment protocols etc. This information is often of use in cases of appeals and complaints and when external agencies request information to validate programmes of study for graduates seeking professional membership, accreditation or chartership or to gain entry to subsequent higher degree programmes or other professional training.
