Education / Pedagogy / student results
French term or phrase: ABJ
An abbreviation in a list of student results from the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales. It comes from the column where marks are listed. In cases where there is no mark, there is either "ABJ" or "DEF". Any assistance with decoding the acronym would be greatly appreciated. TIA

ABJ: mention utilisée pour absence à un examen qui a été justifiée; cela entraîne un zéro pour l’épreuve concernée et permet donc le calcul de la moyenne de l’étudiant.
ABI: absence injustifiée (non-calcul de la moyenne)
DEF: défaillant : absence injustifiée (sur un procès-verbal de résultat d’examen); non-calcul de la moyenne

Very many thanks. This was a most helpful answer.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  cchat: Yes, this answers the question on DEF too. However, absence justifié does not automatically mean zero, at our UFR it means that the average is calculated only on the other marks.
