Retention and Disposal of Records

Permanent record files are scanned and stored electronically through Etrieve, a Softdocs product. Student information is stored on a local server that is copied daily to prevent any loss of information. Both active and inactive records are accessible through the intranet-based application. The records are archived by name, student id #, social security number, and birth date. Bladen Community College does not rely on paper to store permanent records; therefore, the records are protected against fire, theft, destruction, and other hazards.
