The study sampled a total of 15 which was collected and used in the analysis. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The research used a descriptive research design. Research findings showed that the retention schedule lays down the length of time in which the record needs to be retained. Some respondents also showed that neither social promotion nor retention is supported by available research as a first option for students experiencing academic difficulty. The majority of the respondents showed that there is inadequate knowledge about the retention and disposition policy at Kabale University. Lack of security and privacy was also reflected by respondents who showed that the retrieved records may lack security and privacy since they are displayed for review and discussion hence affecting their privacy.
