Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy transcripts
This abbreviation appears in a 2011 transcript from a university from Spain.
Here are all the columns in the transcript to provide you with context. I an posting four questions for the four abbreviations that I have not been able to figure out.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Código = code
Asignatura = course
Dur (this column has an “A” for each course listed)
Tip (this column has a “B” for each course listed)
Año = year (in the format: 09-10 )
Cur. (this column has numbers from 1 to 5)
Conv = Final [exam] (this column has the names of months)
Agot. (this column has numbers from 1 to 3, and 0 for approved courses transferred from other universities)
Calificación = grade (passed, outstanding, excellent)
Proposed translations (English)

Charles Davis May 17, 2012:
@Joanna "Conv" doesn't mean "Final". It stands for "convocatoria" and it means "exam session" (or "sitting" or "period", if you prefer). They are normally held in February (first-semester courses and "parciales", mid-course exams for full-year courses), June (full-year courses and second-semester courses) and September (retakes).

For example compulsory vs elective.

agree Charles Davis : "B" probably means obligatoria

agree Domingo Trassens : I agree with you. “Type” is a term used by Spanish universities in the English forms for "tipo".
