Source of Acquisition

Received from the Registrar's Office in a number of installments beginning in 2012.

Method of Acquisition

This collection is comprised of four accessions. The primary accession, UA.2013.004, came to the UASC as part of a general University Archives accession previously stored at the Physical Plant building. This group of materials was separated from the rest of the general UA accession in June 2013 to be interfiled with four boxes obtained from the Office of Registrar in Spring 2012 (UA.2012.001). The third accession (UA.2013.005) consisted of four boxes delivered by the Office of Registrar in July 2013. Finally, select materials relating to the Registrar Records were removed from accession UA.2013.010, two boxes from the Office of Institutional Analysis, on July 25, 2013. A representative of the Office of Institutional Analysis delivered ten additional items for accession UA.2013.010 on August 2, 2013. For each accession, duplicate materials, materials not created by or pertaining to UT Tyler, and a small extent of student and faculty records were deaccessioned in compliance with the UT Tyler records retention schedule.
