Social Sciences - Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / releve de notes/academic report
French term or phrase: resultat d'admission
This is a report in respect of the student's second semester for a degree in Economics and Management. What does the word 'admission' refer to? The student has clearly been admitted to the degree course, so it's not that.

TIA for any help. I am sure this has come up before.

Explanation:
I'm not sure "acceptance" is needed. Agreed, the link can indicate otherwise, however isn't the type of document slightly different? The link provided is for a list of students who have passed a particular course, but the TT in question is a report card for one particular student.

In French, "admis" (as discussed above - AnneGreaves at 12:08) is simply a pass in this context.

In an educational context, I believe we'd more likely see "Result"/"Pass rate"/"Grade"/"Mark", rather than "Acceptance results". Also, note that the target term is in the singular.

Another contributing factor would be the nature of the document. "Result" is a shorter term, especially if you're trying to squeeze the text into a box (generally the case with report cards).

I believe it will be evident on the report that the student progressed into the third semester and therefore "accepted".

I feel that the French "admission" is swaying us towards using the term "acceptance" when it's not really necessary.

What follows this term (a percentage, a letter, etc.) will better determine the correct target term but I think "Result" would be acceptable and the closest to the ST term.

I would probably add a note to the reader that this is the result regarding admission to the next semester/term, etc.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "Admis" as in "pass" the 2nd semester exams. ("Admis" o/wise in ref to a "concours" would follow on from "admissible"; not the case here). Note that you can be "admis" in 2nd sem and not in your 1st sem, in which case you resit to pass the year.

Maybe acceptance result would be more appropriate here

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: With all due respect to the Normale Sup', the suggestion of "acceptance results" reads as a translation and is not what would come naturally to a native speaker. Those who have L3 admis have passed their degree, Bac+3, +/- a bachelor's degree
