- Queensland State Archives General Retention & Disposal Schedule for Queensland Universities (QDAN601)
- Queensland State Archives General Retention & Disposal Schedule for Administrative Records (Version 2.1)
Compliance with the disposal schedules for the appraisal of all QUT records (including electronic records) is mandatory (See MOPP F/8.1.5).
The QSA Administrative Disposal Schedule is for general administrative records that are common across all government agencies (for example, staff and financial records). The Queensland Universities Schedule includes retention periods for records that are specific to a University environment (for example, student and research records). Both schedules are exclusive of each other, so records should appear in either one schedule or the other.
The retention periods specified in the disposal schedules apply to all records regardless of their format. For example, information captured as an email, in an electronic database or on a website will need to be kept for the same amount of time as if they were on paper.
