The University of Alabama Records Management Program manages records generated by university departments and offices. These records include administrative, financial, and student records that encompass the day-to-day business of the university and are of short term value. The majority of these records have restricted access. Users must obtain permission from the generating department before they can access these records.
The goal of the University of Alabama's Records Management Program is to promote efficiency and economy at The University of Alabama and to aid University offices in the management of their recorded information. The University of Alabama's records retention schedule meets the legal requirements of the state of Alabama and the Federal government.
