Spanish term

simultaneidades

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Argentinian university transcript UBA
From and ink stamp:

DIRECTORA
DIRECCION DE CERTIFICACIONES, LEGALIZACIONES,
PASES, SIMULTANEIDADES Y BAJAS
DIRECCION DE ALUMNOS

Now I know that pases is transfers and bajas is withdrawals. Is simultaneidades like attending two schools at once? I can give more context if needed.

double degrees / double degree programs

It's doing two degrees at once, either within the same faculty or two different faculties. This definition is from Chile, not Argentina, but all the signs are that the meaning is the same, and I quote it because it's nice and clear:

"Artículo 57:
Se entenderá por simultaneidad de estudios la situación por la cual un alumno cursa paralelamente más de una carrera en la Universidad Internacional SEK."
http://www.uisek.cl/files/pdf/reglamento_academico_de_pregra...

Confirmation from Argentine universities:

" Simultaneidad de Carreras
Alumnos que cursan otra carrera en las Facultades de la UBA y se inscriben para hacer simultáneamente Derecho"
http://www.derecho.uba.ar/academica/carreras_grado/pases_equ...

"III. Simultaneidad de inscripción en carreras dentro de la misma Facultad
Art. 16. El alumno que acredite la aprobación de asignaturas correspondientes a una carrera de una Facultad podrá solicitar su reconocimiento por equivalencia para cualquier otra carrera de la misma Facultad. [...]
IV. Simultaneidad de inscripción en diferentes unidades académicas
Art. 18. Los alumnos que se hallen cursando estudios en una carrera, en una Facultad o en una carrera dependiente del Rectorado, podrán inscribirse en otra Facultad o en otra carrera dependiente del Rectorado."

This is not a double major (often called combined honours in the UK), which is a single degree program with two majors; it's doing two full degrees at once, and the usual term is double degree.

simultaneities?

Objetivamos, também, ao situar essa escola, analisar como se deu a gradativa
transformação de escola isolada, em escola reunida e grupo escolar, identificando as diversas
simultaneidades de modelos de organização encontrados - http://www2.faced.ufu.br/colubhe06/anais/arquivos/382Marluci...

Eureka, I suppose, as you say attending two schools at the same time:
Perhaps the translation is simultaneities refferring naturlly to the country Argentina:
a oficina de simultaneidades y pases, tuve que hacer una carta solicitando la simultaneidad entre enfermeria y medicina, -
Este Departamento se encarga de tramitar los pedidos de pases y/o simultaneidades que solicitan los alumnos entre las Carreras que se dictan en la Facultad de Medicina o entre las Facultades dependientes de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. No tramita pases entre Universidades Nacionales o extranjeras. - http://www.fmed.uba.ar/organigrama/alumnos/pases.htm

neutral Charles Davis : Hi Ana. The question header indicates that this is about Argentine university education, but your reference is about European secondary education.
