Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: Academi Scholar-Elective | This phrase appears in an elementary school transcritp, under the heading "State Defined Course Flags". There is no much context, it literally says as follows: "E = Academic Scholar-Elective".

39 mins confidence: | academi scholar-elective asignatura optativa/facultativa
Explanation:
Si el texto que estás traduciendo es de EE.UU, allí "elective" se utiliza como un sustantivo para designar a las asignaturas optativas o facultativas: "An optional academic course or subject".
Scholar puede ser estudiante o becario. Como no conozco el contexto, no sé cuál elegir, aunque supongo que la palabra acertada será estudiante.
Academic puede ser, simplemente, académico; también académico pero relativo a estudios de educación superior o relativo a estudios de índole clásica o liberal más que a aquellos que son técnicos o profesionales.
Al no tener contexto para decidirme especialmente por una de las opciones, la traducción literal de la expresión sería:
asignaturas optativas del estudiante académico. Como lo del estudiante académico creo que sobra, la traduciría simplemente por:
asignaturas optativas.
