Retention Instructions:

Records are to be retained by Registrar's Office for two years. Any related records held by the faculites should also be retained for two years.

Appraisal Rationale:

These records are used to track students who write, or apply to write, supplemental examinations, so they supplement the information in SIS and st2udent dockets. However, that information is eventually included in those series, so it need not be retained for more than two years.

Although the Registrar's Office administers the examinations, they are governed by rules set by the various faculties. Therefore the faculties should retain any additional documentation which they have for the same period (two years).
