Student Records Retention Guidelines

Summary

In New York, private nonprofit educational institutions, including those offering dance education, generally retain academic records for at least five years, financial records for seven years, and health and safety records for at least five years. For specific legal sources, refer to the New York State Archives for records management guidelines and the New York Nonprofit Revitalization Act for nonprofit governance and compliance. Consulting a legal advisor or attorney specializing in educational or nonprofit law is recommended for precise legal advice.
