Spanish term or phrase: UV
I'm translating a university transcript from El Salvador. There are a number of columns in this transcript:

Ciclo Codigo Nombre de las Asignaturas UV Calificaciones

In the UV column, all the scores or values are a 4. Am I right to translate this as 'units' in English? What Spanish words does UV stand for?

Thanks.
