return to index of Records Schedules

In an effort to preserve and maintain its history, Yale University seeks to retain certain documentation concerning the recruitment and admission of students at Yale.   Specific topics of interest include:

• The academic record and qualifications of students who were admitted to and entered Yale;
   
• The cultural, and geographical backgrounds of students who applied and were admitted to Yale;
   
• Development and implementation of directives, policies, and procedures used to guide the recruitment and admissions processes; and
   
• Summary analysis of applicant pools, admitted students, and the entering student body.
   

Archival records (Permanent records should be transferred to the Archives.  Please arrange timing and frequency of records transfer with Archives staff.) Admission reports and other summary information relating to student admissions, which may be used for control, planning, or review   Lists of admitted students   Meeting minutes and supporting materials documenting the development of admission and recruitment policies and procedures, and the admission process   Policies and procedures for admissions and recruitment   Publications, videos, and other promotional materials used for recruitment (2 copies)   Statistical and demographic analyses of the applicant pool, admitted student body, and entering freshmen clas students   Student admission records for admitted students who attended Yale, including applications and supporting materials   Subject files and correspondence of directors of admissions and recruitment

Office of record Provosts, deans, admission officers, and registrars maintain the record copy of documentation about admissions and recruitment.  Individual units that are not responsible for the creation of such records, but that maintain duplicates of such works or related materials, should destroy these files after they are no longer needed.
