Spanish term or phrase: certificado de estudios total
From a Mexican university transcript, a question for someone who is familiar with Mexican academic terminology--Does "total" in the phrase above mean that the transcript is a complete transcript or that the course of study was completed (or something else)?

complete
Explanation:
Sorry, I'm not mexican. Just to confirm that the term exists: see web page below. Apparently it is a standard expression. I'm not sure how it's to be translated, but it would seem that "complete" might be a good choice (i.e. including the full list of courses received with the notes obtained - as opposed to a certificate that just states that the student has passed without specifying the courses followed).

complete (official) academic transcript


Explanation:
Hello, yeap, it refers to the student's entire academic history, passes, fails, discontinued papers and all, not just the passes. It's also called "certificado total de estudios", they don't seem to be too fussy about the syntax out there. 1st link shows it with "official", 2nd without, both the same thing. Hope it helps, good luck :)
