Department/Unit heads are responsible for the maintenance and retention of records for their functional area.

Middle Georgia State University (MGA) utilizes electronic records in many of its functional areas. This movement to electronic records is prevalent within the USG as evident in that the USG Business Procedures Manual section 12 for Protection and Security of Records has been superseded by the Information Technology Handbook Section 5.

The Georgia Records Act is applicable to the records of Middle Georgia State University.

The following is a summary of primary custodians.
