Central Units
Certain records are generated by local units but uploaded or sent to centralized units, which maintain the records for the duration of their retention. The following is a list of such records that do not need to be retained locally as long as they have been sent to the central, responsible unit.
*It is recommended that local units retain paper documents that have been scanned for 60 days as a quality control measure.
**Ohio State has recently migrated from PeopleSoft to Workday as a centralized administrative system for many Finance and Human Resources records, and Student records will eventually move to Workday. While the system name(s) may change over time, the retention periods for the records contained within the systems should remain the same. Records Management will be monitoring these processes and how retention and disposition might be affected.
