Unreturned coursework (including exams) should be maintained for a minimum of six months from when the final grade was issued to afford students enough time to challenge a final grade. Unlike many other University records, you do not need to fill out a disposition authorization form once the minimum retention period is met. The records may be destroyed after six months, with few exceptions. Please take the time to ensure student records are destroyed securely. Confidential shredding options are listed at http://records.compliance.uconn.edu/confidential-shredding/.
