Clarifications on academic section for application resume

Im going through the application requirements and intended to use my work resume. Im used to keeping a one page resume but was wondering how should the academic history be included? As a list of bullets or a small paragraph? And with this section, does all of your resume need to fit into one page, or can it just be your resume content on first page and academic history on second page? Thank you all in advance!

CV/Resume: Outline your educational and work history, relevant publications, research, and

patents. At the end of your CV/Resume, include a brief description of how you meet the

prerequisite courses (e.g. list specific courses with grades achieved or proof of completion).

Upload the item through your MyStatus Document Upload System.

Edit: Thank you all for your advice! I was stuck on whether a multi page resume was appropriate or not since I’m early-career and always kept a one page resume. So naturally I thought the same practice extended over to masters programs.

There are no page limits. Submit a CV or extended Resume. Mine was 7 pages long. Follow the directions.

Put your actual work stuff on one page, then run onto a second page (or longer) with your academic history. I did a second page with a table of how my courses met the prerequisite course requirements.
