Content Retention Policy
This service requires high speed low latency storage to provide smooth video playback, as a result storage costs are higher and a retention policy is required.
Content will remain online for an entire academic year following the year it was created. At the end of each Spring semester, content from the previous year will be removed (e.g. In Spring of 2021, content created for Summer 2020 and earlier will be deleted).
OIT recommends users take personal responsibility for routine archiving of content. Once content has been removed it can not be recovered. File storage options supported by OIT include UCB Files, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive.
