Records Information Management

The Office of Legal Affairs serves as the University's Custodian of Records and administers the Records and Information Management (RIM) Program. Required by the Georgia Records Act, the program provides guidance, policies, and procedures for the creation, maintenance, retention, transfer, and disposition of university records, regardless of format, ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements.

Required by the Georgia Records Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-90 through § 50-18-103), the RIM Program provides the framework for managing university records throughout their lifecycle. This includes the creation, use, maintenance, retention, transfer, and authorized destruction of records, regardless of format or media.

The RIM Program establishes university policies, procedures, and standards designed to support compliance, protect institutional records, and promote responsible records stewardship across the university.
