... to administrative services in charge of students registration and payment of fees. I don't know what the equivalent would be in English.

Be careful. "La vie scolaire" exists only in primary and secondary education where school attendance is checked. There is no such thing at university. Being a teacher myself, my answer can be trusted. "La scolarité" in such a context, refers to...
Bourth (X) Mar 25, 2008:
Try a ProZ Term search. This has come up before, in relation to African universities. From memory, "scolarité" is something like "attendance tracking", what the French call "La vie scolaire" in schools at any rate.

BUT ... this link seems to indicate that the Registrar is higher in the hierarchy than the Dean of Students as the students are incited to refer to the DofS before referring to the Registrar
Students contemplating such an appeal may wish to consult the Dean of Students before lodging an appeal with the Registrar and Vice-Principal.

The Registrar and Vice-Principal will then refer the matter together with all relevant documents to the Grading Appeals Committee, which will recommend a course of action to Academic Senate. Appeals against grades at this level are based on procedural matters only.

principal for attendance

Hello,

Look here:http://dictionnaire.mediadico.com/traduction/dictionnaire.as...

There's a column on the right hand side of this webpage where possible translations of "scolarité" are given. There are two: schooling and attendance at school. I assume it's the latter that applies here.

I hope this helps.

This is a principal of a given school whose main duty is to ensure that kids attend school regularly.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Ccilb77 : It would apply concerning primary and secondary education. At university, it has a different meaning, since students attendance is not checked anymore.
