Training

Records management training is provided to all new employees within the first quarter of employment. Understanding how to keep and maintain public records is vital to be in compliance with Wis. Stat. Sec. 16.61 and Wi. Executive Order #189.  Employees may utilize UWGB Records Management Training at any time or by contacting the Records Officer at maines@uwgb.edu.

This training follows State requirements to ensure the University 1) retains records appropriately and 2) disposes of records either through destruction or transfer to Archives. 

You should never use an old list of department records when deciding to dispose of records.  Remember, only a Record Management Plan - or Inventory Worksheet - may be referenced as it has been vetted against approved record schedules.

The Record Management Handbook captures all things related to record management that you need to know.
