According to the State Archives of North Carolina:
Public higher education institutions in North Carolina include community colleges and institutions in the University of North Carolina system. These organizations, along with any entities with whom they contract to perform the public business, are subject to the requirements of North Carolina’s Public Records Act (G.S. 132). The retention and disposition schedules that follow are the tools created by the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) to assist employees of public higher education institutions in managing the records in their offices. These schedules list records series commonly found in higher education offices, provide an assessment of their value, and indicate when (and if) these records should be destroyed.

The Central Piedmont Archives adheres to this Records Retention and Disposition Schedule to determine which records need to be retained permanently. For questions about permanent retention, please contact the archivist at archives@cpcc.edu. For questions about records management, consult your supervisor.
