academic records

Student performance history

Academic records are the official documents tracking a student's educational history—transcripts, grades, test scores, attendance, and enrollment status.

Schools maintain these records from elementary through graduate level.

They're requested for college admissions, job applications, and professional licensing: I need to request my academic records from the registrar.

In legal and administrative contexts, access to academic records is often protected by privacy laws.
