Universities manage thousands of student records across many departments. The data sits in separate enrollment systems, grading platforms, and administrative databases. When an audit starts or a student requests a transcript, staff rebuild a complete history by hand. This process is slow and error-prone. Midaz treats each academic activity as a Ledger transaction. It records every enrollment, grade, and achievement immutably, with a full audit trail — the same way it records financial movements.

​
Benefits

  • Security and integrity: Every academic record is an immutable transaction. You cannot change it after you record it, which removes disputes about grades or enrollment history.
  • Transparency: Students, advisors, and administrators see a single, consistent view of the complete academic record.
  • Efficiency: Transcript generation, GPA calculations, and audit preparation become automated queries instead of manual processes.

What changes with Midaz

​
Using Midaz

  • Organization & Ledger: The university registers as an Organization in Midaz. It creates a Ledger to track all academic activities as transactions.
  • Assets: Create an Asset for each course, with a unique identifier.
  • Student Portfolios: For each student, create a Portfolio. The Portfolio acts as the academic record and holds all relevant academic metrics.
  • Accounts for academic metrics: Create accounts for the academic metrics inside each student’s Portfolio. Examples include:
    • Course enrollments Account: Records the courses the student enrolls in.
    • Grades Account: Tracks the grades the student receives.
    • Attendance Account: Monitors class attendance.
    • Achievements Account: Records extracurricular achievements and recognitions.
  • Transactions: Use transactions to update accounts based on academic activities:
    • Course enrollment: When a student enrolls in a course, create a transaction. The transaction moves an entry from a course pool account (e.g., ) to the student’s “Course Enrollments” account.
    • Grade assignment: When an instructor assigns a grade, create a transaction. The transaction moves “funds” (the grades) from the class grade account (e.g., @external/grades) to the student’s grade account.
    • Attendance marking: To mark attendance, move funds from an attendance account (e.g., @external/monitors) to the student’s “Attendance” account.
    • Achievements: Similarly, add achievements to the “Achievements” account via transactions.
  • Reports: Query the ledger to build a full academic record for each student, across enrollments, grades, attendance, and achievements. These queries support academic counseling and transcript generation.
    • For example, retrieve all transactions for the Grades Account. Use the available balance to calculate the student’s GPA.
