Academically strapped 

Armed with education. Carrying knowledge and degrees like a gangster carries weapons and ammunition.
Though he seems like just a street poet and a rapper, he's academically strapped and knows his shit. He's college educated and went to graduate school at NYU.

Academically Mature

A student who knows how to handle their shit, and works most of the time instead of whining.
It's finals week and Tessa seems so chill. Such an academically mature student.

academically institutionalized

The point where a person has been in post-graduate school so long, either studying or teaching, they can no longer cope in the real world; they view all problems in the world as black & white and take pride in always being politically correct.
Richard's been struggling with his new job at Subway after graduating with degrees in eastern philosophy and liberal arts, I think he might be academically institutionalized by now.

academically concluded 

1. someone whose mind is closed off to accepting new data, because of a false conclusion they have accepted as fact.
2. A student with learning disabilities that they don't recognize or accept.

3. A sufferer of the Dunning Kruger effect.

4. a retard
Faculty member 1: That new student had a full scholarship and decided education was beneath his calling and dropped out.
Faculty member 2: It is for the best anyways, because he is academically concluded.

academically challenged 

The 'nice' word for stupid. often told to people who are in fact complete idiots in order to avoid offending them. sometimes has the exact opposite effect, as people generally do not like it when people use euphemisms to avoid offense.
i told that idiot from work he was academically challenged. it had the opposite effect of what i had intended, and it just pissed him off.
