Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Transcripts | | French term or phrase: Acces étape | This is from a series of transcripts for a student who completed several French university degrees including a DEUG, a Licence, and several Master's programs.
This appears on a French university transcript under the heading Résultat d'admission (final grade) - three different terms appear under this heading: admis (pass), ajourné (incomplete) and acces étape. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

| | incomplete | Explanation:
Based on Marina's reference, I think that "accès étape" is a partial pass, where some subjects will have to be resat, and that "aajourné" is "deferred". I do not know the terms in use in the UK (or Canada) though. HTH |

1 hr confidence:   Rejected but may retry.
Explanation:
In a similar list that I found, there were four options:
Admis -- accepted
Ajourné -- rejected
Défaillant -- absent
Aj Accès Étape -- rejected but can try again
In fact when a student fails the exams by a slight margine, (s)he can try again at one or two subjects in order to pass anyway. Whereas somebody who is rejected is so far below the target that catching up would not be mathematically possible.
