Texas State University-San Marcos is beginning a comprehensive program to manage university records and preserve those records with long-term historical value.  The Records Retention Schedule provides instruction for disposing of records once they have exceeded their legal retention requirement; records with no further value may be discarded, while records with historical value should be transferred to the University Archives.
