German term or phrase: studienäquivalente Prüfungsleistung
"Falls Studierende in einem Semester weder den ersten noch den zweiten Prüfungsversuch
erfolgreich bestehen (bzw. im Falle des Nichtantretens zur ersten Klausur die zweite nicht
bestehen), kann die *studienäquivalente Prüfungsleistung* erst zum nächsten Zeitpunkt, an dem
das Modul angeboten wird, wiederholt werden."

Shows up in a list of terms in an Excel file. Could only find one lone google, which I have provided above.
TIA for your help.

English translation:course equivalency exam
Explanation:
My understanding is that if you fail the course exams (perhaps your were sick for example), rather than retaking the course, you may take an equivalency exam in order to receive credit; however, you may only take the exam when the course is again offered.

corresponding university examination


Explanation:
The context indicates that we are talking about a modular university course which allows a modular exam to be initially retaken in the same semester but then only again in another semester in which the module is offered.
