Frequently Asked Questions

Which code should I use for e-mail?

E-mail should be regarded as a format of a record and categorized by its content. Just as written correspondence is classified as general, administrative, or transitory, depending on the content of the correspondence, e-mail generally falls into one of these three categories. The UTRRS provides retention and archival review requirements for general correspondence, administrative correspondence, and transitory information. E-mail may be retained as an electronic file or printed and managed in hard copy.
