German term or phrase: Hochschulvergabeverordnung

This should be my last query for the night (or day, depending on where you are in the world).

It's the name of some ordinance or other. I've looked everywhere and can't find the English name for this. Anyone know what it would be called in English? TIA for your help.

English translation:Ordinance on the Award of University Places

Explanation:
I couldn't find an equivalent either, so I'd just leave it in German and provide something like the above as a gloss in brackets.

Sleep tight!

I'm just glad to get an answer. As Michele said, "university places" could perhaps be improved upon, but I'm too tired (and behind schedule!) to care! Thanks so much Mary!

6 hrs confidence:

numerus clausus assignments

Explanation:
Gee, after all the complaints about this institution in Germany 20 years ago, I would have thought it had been substantially modified by now.
But, since, as I recall it, one cannot even choose the university, 'assignment' is appropriate.
