Records Management Plan TOS
The Records Management Plan meets the requirements set for officials by the Archives Act (831/1994) for an archive formation plan and also guides information that is stored in the University's electronic document and records management system (SAHA), while ensuring that the retention schedule is in accordance with good data management practice (Act on the Openness of Government Activities 621/1999).
Maintenance of the Records Management Plan is responsibility of the University's records management services. The Records Management Plan has been prepared together with the University's service organisations and process owners and any changes are agreed in cooperation with the owners of the processes.
The services are responsible for the retention of their own materials in a manner consistent with the Records Management Plan - either data stored in operative systems or documents stored in SAHA/other system indicated in TOS. Services are also responsible for delivering documents to the University Registry Office ([email protected]) to be stored in SAHA for long term or permanently.
Under a decision made by the Provost on 9 February 2016 the Aalto University Records Management Plan is applied retroactively to all material collected in accordance with the Records Management Plan from 1 January 2010 and to the extent that it is applicable, also to materials of the founding universities.
