After graduation, college graduates can generally keep their files at school for two years free of charge (note: local policies will vary), and after implementing their work units, they will move their accounts and files to the place where they work. Note that if the work has not been implemented for more than two years, the school will move its files and accounts back to their original places.

State organs, institutions, state-owned enterprises and other units that have the right to entrust personnel files can save files for college graduates who are employed in their own units free of charge. It can be stored in public employment service institutions to facilitate graduates to solve some practical problems.

Extended data:

Retaining one's status after graduation is introduced as follows:

Graduates who are ready to work in the source areas and graduates who don't want to work for the time being can transfer the files to the source areas and receive them by the personnel bureau of prefecture-level cities. The procedure is simple and convenient. However, those who leave their hometown for employment within two years need to go through the reassignment procedures again.

College graduates can go through the transfer formalities in the file storage institution with the letter of introduction of party organization relations issued by the school. Archives record a person's growth trajectory, including identity, party-mass organization, education, experience, professional title, political review, talent and ability, personality, work style, ideological and political performance, etc.
