Spanish term or phrase: Equivalencias
Hi,

I am finalising the translation before the post office closes but never mind, I will accept full responsibility for what I post.

I am translating a Venezuelan Kardex, viz. an academic transcript.

ES:
Inscritas [58 subjects] [Course units attended: 207]
[Subjects withdrawn by student] [5 subjects] [Course units attended: 19]
[Failed subjects] [2 subjects] [Course units attended: 10]
Equivalencias: [0 subjects] [Course units attended: 0]

Does this mean "materias aprobadas por equivalencia"/"Subjects passed by way of crediting transfer credits" [taken over from a previously attended uni or other higher educational institution and homologated/credited/recognised by the uni issuing the Kardex]?

There are KudoZ answers on the topic but I have to certify the other docs just now before the post office closes.

Cheers,

Sebastian Witte

Explanation:
I really don't see why we can't just translated literally here, especially as it's a heading.
