Latin term or phrase: iuribus conventis

I am translating a Latin diploma from a School of Theology in Spain, and at the end it says the following:

"XXX a nobis declaratur Baccalaureus in Sacra Theologia **iuribus conventis**"

These last two words appear on a separate line after the degree name. Is this some ablative absolute construction? Or ablative of mode? I am not sure what the meaning would be in this context...

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

in accordance with the statutes

Explanation:
I.e., with the prerequisites for the Baccalaureate. Lit., "the statutes/rules having been met" or, more loosely, "since the statutes have been met". Apparently a causal ablative absolute.

for [all] agreed rights

Explanation:
That's what I understand.
It may be a phrase similar to "for all legal intents and purposes".

there being agreement as to his right

Explanation:
there being agreement as to his right (to become Baccalaureus).

This is how I interpret it. The Trustees -or whoever grants the diploma-, agree that the candidate is rightfully a Baccalaureus, has the right to become Baccalaureus.

I base my guess on this turn of phrase found on Livius: quibus conventis, which is equivalent to "quae cum convenissent", i.e., there being agreement on that point (according to my Latin-Spanish dictionary)

And, in French, I have seen this definition: quibus conventis Lrv. 30, 43, 7 — quai cum convenis-sent, l’accord étant fait sur ce point

según la normativa

Explanation:
If the Spanish University is San Dámaso, I have now a diploma both in Spanish and Latin. that's why I'm sure. The words are "Iuris convenientibus" - The University translates it as "según la normativa" - which translates as "according to the regulations" - NOTE - the question is "conventis" - The Diploma I have says "convenientibus" -Maybe the asker misspelled his question.
