    Grades
In summary, your lecturers/professors have access to your past grades and can see them from the time you enrolled in the program. This may vary depending on the institution's policies. They can also see your grades from other courses or programs as long as they are on your academic record. You can inquire about privacy options with your academic advisor or the registrar. Your lecturers/professors are responsible for assessing your current performance and not solely judging you based on past grades, but it is important to work hard and improve your academic record.

This might sound like a silly/strange question, and I imagine it varies across all institutions/universities, but can your professors of your current subjects look into your academic record and see what grades you got for past courses?

Does anyone know whether this is possible at their university?

At the college where I teach, any faculty member can look up any current student's academic record.
