Hi all
I am translating a grade transcript and have come across this term in the following phrase: 'mit erhöhtem Stundenausmass' It's a footnote on the transcript relating to some of the subjects in question. I wonder if 'time extension' is the correct term? I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you.

increased teaching time / additional lessons
I'm pretty sure this refers to the Austrian "Pflichtgegenstände mit erhöhtem Stundenausmaß", in other words compulsory modules with added teaching time or lessons. I would be careful not to translate it as hours, as Stunden does not necessarily mean a lesson is 60 minutes.

extra time
In Britain, it is common practice in external exams to offer extra time to pupils with learning difficulties. This may be what is meant here. I would translate the whole phrase as "with extra time (being) given"
1 hr
with a higher number of hours
(subject) with a higher number of hours.
To me as a native German speaker "erhöhter Stundenausmass" simply means that you have more hours of this subject per week or in total.

German term (edited):
mit erhöhtem Stundenausmass
with a greater number of credit hours
Credit hour is the unit by which an institution measures its course work. The number of credit hours assigned to a course quantitatively reflects the outcomes expected, the mode of instruction, the amount of time spent in class, and the amount of outside preparatory work expected for the class.

"greater number of credit hours"

If a course is dropped during the first two weeks of the semester, or the first week of the Summer term, there is no tuition charge if a course is added with an equal or greater number of credit hours.

Lirka
: yes, although "extra credit hours" sounds better for a transcript

Sure, calling it 'extra' or 'additional' would make the formulation shorter + crisper. Thanks, lirka.

4 hrs
with additional hours
That leaves open the question of what kind of hours we are talking about: remedial/credit/classroom/study/teaching hours
22 hrs
supplementary lessons/(study)hours
This would cover bothe advanced and remedial lessons as well as just about any education level.
