Spanish term

Rectorado

Spanish to English Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs traducción de una constancia de alumno regular de universidad
Término que aparece en el extremo superior derecho del documento a traducir, es decir, en la constancia.
El equivalente en inglés es: rector's office, pero me parece un tanto informal para utilizarlo en una traducción.
Me gustaría saber si existe otro término más apropiado o si se usa solo "rector's office".

Rector's Office

No sé por qué Vd. cree que es demasiado informal. Tal vez lo haya confundido con "Rector's office" (con minúscula), que es la oficina en que el rector se encuentra. El sitio indicado es para una universidad sudafricana.
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : And "Office of the Rector" would make it more formal IMHO...

Different strokes

In the UK, most universities have a Rector and a Chancellor, whereas in the US the head honcho is known as the President.

Inauguration of Rector Lubomír Dvořák (Palacký University)

A rector ("ruler", from the Latin regerre and rector meaning "ruler") is a senior official in an educational institution, and can refer to an official in either a university or a secondary school. Outside the English-speaking world the rector is often the most senior official in a university, whilst in the United States the most senior official is often referred to as President and in the United Kingdom the most senior official is the Chancellor, whose office is primarily ceremonial and titular. The term and office of a rector can be referred to as a rectorate. The title is used widely in universities in Europe.[Notes 1] and is very common in Latin American countries.[Notes 2] It is also used in Brunei, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Israel and the Middle East. In the ancient universities of Scotland the office is sometimes referred to as Lord Rector, is the third most senior official, and is usually responsible for chairing the University Court.

Universities in the Commonwealth of Nations often follow the pattern of the English-speaking world with a Chancellor as titular head.
