Updates to the University of Waterloo Records Classification

Thursday, January 31, 2019

Completed lists of records classes in all WatClass functional categories are now available, along with brief descriptions of the records class scope if a records retention schedule has not yet been approved. The following WatClass functional categories have also been renamed to better reflect current practices at the University: “University Relations & Communications” is now “University Relations & Advancement”; “Information Management” is now “Information Management & Technology.”

New records class lists can be found in the Campus Services (CS), University Relations & Advancement (UR), Information Management & Technology (IM), and Property & Facilities (PF) sections. Draft retention schedules for these records classes will be uploaded when they are ready for review by the University community.
