Denison University Records Management provides a systematic program designed to assist campus departments and offices with the creation, use, maintenance, retention, disposition, and preservation of all types of records for the purpose of meeting the university’s legal requirements, reducing costs associated with office space, and increasing efficiency, while ensuring that records of permanent value are preserved and obsolete records destroyed.

In 2006, the Records Management Team (RMT), a university-wide interdepartmental team made up of administrative staff from all divisions of the college, was created under the auspices of the Office of Finance and Management and led by Nancy Hoover, Director of Financial Aid.  The RMT was created to develop a comprehensive records management program for Denison University. This includes teaching sound records management principles; supporting access to information for legal, financial, and operational decisions; and assisting in the determination of records of enduring value for the university records and their appropriate maintenance.

The RMT oversees the management of all types of university records including recommending policy as well as procedures for implementation and evaluation, and is a standing administrative committee advisory to the Vice President for Finance and Management.

Membership of the RMT consists of representatives from the following University Offices:

• Admissions
• Archives
• Campus and Residential Life
• Controller's Office
• Financial Aid and Student Employment
• Health and Counseling Services
• Human Resources
• Information Technology Services
• Institutional Advancement (Advancement Services)
