Records are the various documents generated, received and filed by your office. Records can include correspondence, memos, reports, minutes, agendas, purchase orders, student grade sheets, fliers, news clippings, and any other type of document you can think of.

Records serve three major purposes: 1) they serve as an administrative record of the recent activities of your office or department, and thus assist department members with the day to day operation of the department or office. 2) they serve as a legal record for tax and other purposes. 3) they serve as an historic record of the activities of your office or department and the College as a whole.
