GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:Semester

Portuguese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / Catholic University of Sao Paulo
Portuguese term or phrase: Bd/Gd
This term, which is hard to read on the copy and may say Bd or Gd, appears on the academic record of a student at Sao Paulo Catholic University as a column heading. The columns read No. Bd/Gd Codigo Nome Disciplina etc.
Under the heading Bd/Gd the first few entries are 1, the next few 2 and so on up to 8. The don't correspond to years, as the course lasted 4 years.

Semester or Term
Explanation:
From the information you provided I gather that the transcript is referring to Semester (8 semesters are equivalent to 4 years). The other option is to call it term, which gives the same idea as a semester although is more broad.

agree  Donna Sandin: perhaps it is "Pd" in which case "semester" or "academic period" would work

agree  Emma Cox: At first I agreed with Antonio, and still think it would be good to clarify with your client, but the more you think, the more this fits in, as different disciplines would be taught in different semesters. Don't use "Term" though... semester is academic

Se não for possível, deixe ficar como está e junte uma nota do tradutor a dizer, por exemplo, \"the translator could not determine the meaning of the abbreviation\"
