college history

University's recorded timeline

College history refers to one's academic record and experiences during higher education—grades, courses taken, institutions attended, and degree completion.

It appears most often in contexts involving background checks, job applications, or admissions: The application asks for your complete college history.

The phrase can also mean the broader chronicle of a particular college or university: a book on the college history of Harvard.
