The Common Records Schedule (CRS) is the backbone of records and information management at York University. It is designed to assist units in ensuring that their university records are organized and maintained for operational and administrative effectiveness, and that they are disposed of appropriately.
The CRS presents a model for the organization of records across the University, organized into eleven functional areas based on common functions. See Getting Started with the CRS for an overview of the records classification framework, then browse the various functional areas with their associated descriptions in the Common Records Schedule.
