academic history

Educational record documented

Academic history is the record of a student's formal education—courses taken, grades received, degrees earned, and institutions attended.

Schools request academic history on applications to evaluate preparation and performance: Please provide your complete academic history.

The term also appears in contexts involving academic misconduct, where past violations become part of one's record.
