Suggestions & CommentsUMBC Records Management Program
The UMBC Policy on Records Management is the final product of a two year development process intended to bring the campus into compliance with the USM Policy on Records Management which directs each campus to establish a Records Management Program.It is intended to set in place a campus wide system that will ensure the permanent retention of the important records of the University, and the timely destruction of those records for which the legal requirements have been met.
