Archives
A records classification and retention schedule provides the organizational structure and length of time to keep or dispose of records. We use a functional classification scheme that is based on the functions and activities rather than the subjects or departments.
The retention period may specify authorized destruction, transfer to the Archives for permanent preservation or another institution. The Archives is not responsible for destroying or preserving records outside its acquisition scope.
We have based our classification and retention schedule on Qatari legal requirements, internationally informed best practices, and the needs of our University community.
The full version including legal citations and regulatory guidelines is available on MyUDST (Excel spreadsheet).
We have organized the records into 17 functions, each with record series based on activities.
