-> ??? No it doesn't. I can put a hold on my reg or someone else can or "My reg was put on hold." Give up.

disagree

Serena Terra: A "hold" is added to your records by the school –not by you– and it does not allow you to register for classes until the matter is resolved. It means you have a problem.

Julgamento sumário

Explanation:
Em primeiro lugar, gostaria de agradecer ao sr Smith pelo trabalho de me avisar sobre a incorreção da resposta escolhida. Não obstante, esta escolha foi motivada pela urgência em que me via no momento. Como a resposta anterior estava flagrantemente errada - matrícula trancada como "complete" - e como a tradução de que eu tinha conhecimento, "year off", me parecia informal demais para ser colocada num Curriculum Vitae nas circunstâncias extraordinárias que o envolviam, me decidi a utilizar o termo "Interrupted" para este caso em especial, considerando que o curso da pessoa em questão tinha sido muito mais interrompido do que trancado.
A despeito das boas intenções do sr Smith e da resposta escolhida estar, de fato, equivocada (donde também o equívoco flagrante de minha escolha), considero inceitável o comentário que seu colega, o sr Stevens teceu a meu respeito, a saber, a sugestão de que eu faria parte de uma equipoe de "point awarders". Ora, quem este senhor pensa que é para julgar desta maneira sumária a quem não conhece, a mim, que, com efeito, na maioria das vezes negligencio a escolha dos vencedores de minhas perguntas por semanas ou até meses - a minha lista de "pontos não concedidos" é bem extensa em comparação com a maioria dos membros deste site? Isto só pode servir para provar que, ele também, o honorável sr. Stevens, cultiva o gosto pelos pontinhos (muito mais do que eu, pelo menos), e não consegue perdoar aqueles que, seja por sabedoria ou por ignorância, não os lhe concede.
Assim ficam do mesmo modo e ao mesmo tempo expressos os meus agradecimentos pela correta ajuda recebida do sr. Smith e minha veemente objeção à injustiça e à difamação de minha conduta materializadas no arrogante comentário do Sr Stevens.

Respeitosamente,

Élcio Verçosa Filho

My understanding of the original text is that it is an action taken by the student..

Explanation:
A quick search on "google" clearly shows that a 'hold on registration' is something imposed by the administration on the students records or registration due to not completing certain requirements.

In Brazil, 'trancar matricula' is normally an action that is initiated by the student who wants to take some time off for his own reasons and does not want to risk having to take another 'vestibular'

google search 'hold on my registration.'
Results 21 - 30 of about 412,000. Search took 0.19 seconds

I got tired of reading them after about 30 showing that it is an action taken by the administration and not by the student.

As for being in the group of the "grown ups" I don't consider that as a negative
classification.

As far always getting the points from the ''awarders' - my record hasn't been too brilliant so far.

The student was excused from enrollment

Explanation:
In some cases, Portuguese uses "trancar matrícula" when the student studies abroad; in this case, the terms offered in this forum (and the other (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese_to_english/education_pe... don't seem to apply. In the US, we wouldn't use "leave of absence" or "suspension" or even "put his registration on hold" if the student is studying abroad. I think the translator who focused on the cultural difference here had an important point to make. In some cases, such as the case of study abroad programs, there really is no need to have such a literal or specific translation for "trancar matrícula". I received a particularly wordy sentence in a Portuguese document regarding this situation. I tried to respect the Portuguese as much as possible, so I used "the student was excused from enrollment in the 1st semester of 2008 due to a study abroad program". I think that will be clear to an American reader.

gap year

Explanation:
This seems to be the best option for the land of the Queen. I have seen many references for it.

I notice that it mentions work, whereas a 'trancamento' could be for anything and not necessarily work. I have seen 'Withdrawn' but this is ambiguous, could be interpreted as permanent withdrawal.

From the University of Strathclyde in Bonnie Scotland:
https://www.strath.ac.uk/careers/workexp/takingagapyear/

Another issue is that the term 'gap year' suggests it is only for a year, while 'trancamento' can be for a longer period.
