December 19, 2025 | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

Join us as we explore the essential principles of records management in higher education. This foundational session will guide participants through understanding institutional records retention policies, relevant state and federal statutes, and the critical importance of both proper retention and timely destruction of educational records. Learn why destruction is equally vital to retention in maintaining compliance, protecting privacy, and managing institutional risk. Whether you're new to records management or looking to strengthen your current practices, this session will provide the framework needed for effective records lifecycle management in the higher education environment.
