Archived Files to be Deleted
In an effort to maximize the storage of your current standards files, we will be performing routine maintenance on our FTP site. Once you have requested an update to a Standards Document, the older version of that document is moved to your "Archive" folder. Those documents in your "Archive" folder that are older than 180 days will be removed. Please keep in mind, that the latest version of the standards can be re-requested at anytime. If you feel that there are older versions of your standards that you wish to keep, please visit your Archive folder prior to March 5, 2013 and download those files.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Support Team at absupport@academicbenchmarks.com.
