3. Disclosure Form Retention
As part of your unit’s routine records disposal request, you may include Report of Non-University Activities (RNUA) forms that meet the following criteria:
- Forms that are older than 6 years past the end of the academic year of disclosure (at present, forms from AY2015-2016 or older)
- All audits are complete
- No litigation is pending or anticipated
Your college’s records liaison should record the request with the Records and Information Management Services (RIMS) office, which will seek approval from the State for document destruction.
For assistance with this process, or any other records related questions you may have, please contact the RIMS office at RIMSGroup@uillinois.edu.
