Equivalence


Explanation:
If it's actually on a report card, I don't think we would have a verb there.

Equivalence is the standard term.

If you need a verb, I'd say the institution "grants" and the student "receives" the equivalence.

validated by equivalency


Explanation:
Based on "Grande École / Cycle Master; Guide des études / Study Guide 2011-2012":

Aucun cours fondamental requis à l’ESSEC ne peut être validé par équivalence dans le cadre d’un échange ou d’un double diplôme. [page 37]

No core course required at ESSEC can be validated by equivalency during an exchange or a double degree program. [page 82]

Here an academic requirement – not a particular grade – is "validé par équivalence":

3. Les étudiants de CPGE qui n'ont pas passé le test de langue mais ont validé par équivalence une première année d'histoire (en juin) et ont obtenu le score nécessaire au TOEIC et TOEFL.

disagree  B D Finch: The use of "equivalency" in your reference, which is clearly a translation, is incorrect (adverbial form used inappropriately); it should be **equivalence**.

  -> Yes, "validated by equivalence" sounds OK too, but I might prefer "validated as equivalent." Thank you.
