Academic Secretary's Office
Explanation:
Or the more formal "Office of the Academic Secretary", informally referred to as just "Secretary".

"The Academic Secretary's office is the place where the students' academic records are managed and kept, ..."

"Registrar" (Registrar's Office) is fine too...

Thanks for the explanation. It was helpful. The term that I was looking was for "Secretaria" without accent on the "i". So with the sources you provided it was clear that "Academic Secretary" is a good option for what I need.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Adrian MM.: Likely to be Registry. The question is ambiguous as can refer both to the Secretary or the Secretariat, depending as usual on whether there is an accent over the 'i' in Secretaría https://www.urosario.edu.co/Administracion/Secretaria-Academ...
