French term

Admis comperPassable - typo?

French to English Other Education / Pedagogy university transcript
Hello,
This is a transcript for a DEUG.
The subjects, results, session etc are listed. At the bottom of the sheet, the final result is listed as:
'Admis comperPassable'

I am puzzled by the appearance of 'comper' and think it must be an error, especially as there is no gap before the word passable.

Does anyone know what is intended here?

Many thanks.
Proposed translations (English)
3 with compensating grades
4 typo!
3 passed with C grade

Amy Christie (asker) Aug 28, 2008:
Just realised due to the lack of space between comper and passable this is probably because this document was printed from a form where the fields can be written into, but when printed, do not show the entire line (like in excel). Therefore, the word compensation has been cut short and reads comper (with the n made to look like an r).
Amy Christie (asker) Aug 28, 2008:
I think it may refer to 'admis par compensation', in response to the compensating grades suggestion. For some of the units, the student received grades just below the pass mark. Thank you all for your help so far!

"Compen(sation)" seems like the logical solution for your probable typo.

typo!

It could be "Admis Mention Passable" but "comper" has nothing to do there IMHO!
