Policies

Records not only provide evidence of business activities, but are vital resources on the history and accomplishments of the Suffolk University community. Recognizing this, the Office of the Provost has enacted a policy regulating the creation, maintenance, and proper disposition of all records, regardless of format. The Record Retention Policy should be considered in conjunction with the guidelines set forth in the Written Information Security Policy and the Records Retention Schedule.
