I'm translating an engineering degree transcript. In the grades section, there is a grade marked as "F/P". What does this mean? Thanks!

Hi Lorena, Hi Alison I didn't post it before because I had no way of knowing whether it was right, and without confirmation from the client we would never have known. So I can't claim much merit for it :-)

On the other hand, if an answer is posted we get a glossary entry, which might be useful, so OK.

Paging Charles Davis... paging Charles Davis. Mr. Charles Davis please pick up the white courtesy phone! ;-) Time to post an answer Mr.!
Helena Chavarria Jul 16, 2018:
@Alison Thank you for letting us know. Someone might find the information useful in the future.
Alison Trujillo (asker) Jul 16, 2018:
Thank you everyone for your input! I went with @Charles' answer that this stands for "Fuera del Programa," writing the English translation as "Outside Program." You could also probably say "Off-Campus Program." The client confirmed that this was correct in his case. Gracias!

Well, some do, at least:

"Que la evaluación del aprendizaje en cada asignatura se efectúa a través de dos evaluaciones parciales y una evaluación final."

@Charles I don't really know how the grading system works in English-speaking countries but I know that in Spain, university students talk about 'notas/exámenes parciales y finales'. I don't know if they have a similar system in Mexico!
Charles Davis Jul 14, 2018:
@Helena That looks quite promising. It's not the same university, but at least it's the same country!
Helena Chavarria Jul 14, 2018:
Cubriendo de esta manera el total del 100%. Artículo 25 BIS. En el periodo de verano para el Plan Flexible sólo tendrán dos evaluaciones el cual se promediará de la siguiente manera: Primer parcial 40% Final parcial 60% Cubriendo de esta manera el total del 100%.

Just guessing Final/Parcial?
Anthony Mazzorana (X) Jul 14, 2018:
They're not using the English pass/fail, are they?
neilmac Jul 14, 2018:
My first thought... was "Formación Professional", which refers to vocational training in Spain.However, in the context I don't think this is a likely option.
Charles Davis Jul 14, 2018:
Found this, but it relates to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Escuela Politécnica Nacional in Quito, Ecuador, not Mexico:

"Fuera de programa (F/P), es el ejercicio de las actividades dentro del programa anual, que por alguna razón fueron adelantadas en su ejercicio durante e! mes en que no estaban contempladas dentro de la planeación."
http://bibdigital.epn.edu.ec/bitstream/15000/5231/1/T1482.pd... (p. 27).
Alison Trujillo (asker) Jul 14, 2018:
Hi,
1. Not sure but I think so - it has the look of a typical report card with the school subjects and grades listed.
2. The other grades are all numerical, i.e. 7.0, 8.5, 9.0 on a 0-10 scale.
3. Yes, I mean column. The other sections listed are the semester number, year the curse was taken, and instructor observations.
lorenab23 Jul 14, 2018:
ok thank you Now,
1) is this a boleta global de calificaciones?
2) what other grades are there?
3) when you say section, do you mean a column? What other sections are there?
Alison Trujillo (asker) Jul 14, 2018:
Sure - The country is Mexico and the University is Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica.
lorenab23 Jul 14, 2018:
Hi Alison Could you please tell us the country of origin and if possible the name of the university?

Fuera del programa > Outside the program

As suggested in the discussion area. Here again is the reference I found, which is from the wrong country (Ecuador) but in the right subject area (Electrical Engineering):

"Fuera de programa (F/P), es el ejercicio de las actividades dentro del programa anual, que por alguna razón fueron adelantadas en su ejercicio durante e! mes en que no estaban contempladas dentro de la planeación."
http://bibdigital.epn.edu.ec/bitstream/15000/5231/1/T1482.pd... (p. 27).
