Student Records Administrators Handbook
This handbook, first prepared by the Group on Student Affairs (GSA) ad hoc Committee on Medical Licensure (1996-97) and revised by the GSA National Committee on Student Records (in 1998 and 2001), is intended as a resource guide for medical school registrars, as well as a source of general information for every student affairs professional.

Guidelines for Maintaining Active and Permanent Individual Student Records (PDF, 3 pages)
These guidelines, approved by the AAMC Executive Council in February 2005, were developed by the GSA National Committee on Student Records to assist medical school student records officers in developing and implementing medical school policies relating to the maintenance of academic records for currently enrolled students, former students, and graduates.

View the various student database systems (PDF, 2 pages) used at AAMC-member medical schools. This information was collected at the June 2004 Joint Admissions/Minority Affairs/Student Records Professional Development Conference in Santa Fe, N.M. Please use this information to communicate with each other about schools' experiences with the various database systems available.

This section of the Committee on Student Records site is for topics currently being discussed in the committee. If you have a suggestion for Hot Topics e-mail cosr@aamc.org.
