academic record

Student performance summary

An academic record is the official documentation of a student's educational history at an institution—courses taken, grades earned, degrees conferred.

Schools maintain academic records as transcripts, which students request when applying to other programs or jobs: The employer asked for my academic record.

A strong or weak academic record often determines opportunities.
