Dear colleagues, This is a question for those of you in higher education institutions. I have recently been asked by one of our faculties, how long they should keep their students' exam papers, marking schedules and answer scripts. I see from the JISC Schedules that the retention period for records documenting the control of exam papers and exam scripts is - current academic year + 1 year. I am unsure if the same period applies for the papers themselves. I would be grateful for your input. Many thanks.
