Student Records. Storing Information About Students



Schools, universities and online training organizations often need to keep and track different types of details about their students. Such information may include:

  • Copies of documents like passports, previous diplomas or other scanned documents
  • Comments about student behavior and discipline comments
  • Notes of any other type and nature

…in other words - information gathered throughout the course of the education, which forms a kind of a complete student dossier.
