reprises aux examens

Last but not least : some unis do not operate a "compensation" system.
Some unis have key modules in which you have to obtain at least 10/20 otherwise you fail your year.
This used to be the case in Tours and when I was doing my Biology Masters, a couple of profs were really fed up with the new system. Some students had got say 4/20 in Molecular Biology and still obtained their masters, marks from other coruses, minors, enabling them to pass the year while failing core subjects.

All this blabla is just general background as explanation of the general functioning of exams at uni in France. There are variations in France and the DCR is no doubt inspired by the French system, but not identitical. Also, it will depend on the date of your original.

Note that the "relevé de note" at the end of the year does provide the grade obtained. You need to present it, along with other documents, in order to go on to the following year of study.

Still seems to make sense (to me) as "carried forward", as if "reprises" is similar to "reportées".

A "relevé de notes" issued mid-year, at the end of the first semester, gives you the "where you are at now" that Patrick describes. A second "relevé" is issued after the second set of exams at the end of the year. If you have got through, you will receive a final "relevé de notes" and an "attestation de réussite".
If the second "relevé" indicates that you have not attained the level requried, you then go on to do resits, the famous "deuxième session".

Note : Currently in France, the 2e session of exams (resits) for both the 1st and the 2nd semester exams are generally after the second semester exams. In many unis in France, there is what is known as "compensation". If you got 9/20 in the 1st semester, you have not passed. But all is not lost. Two outcomes are possible thereafter. Either you obtain at least 11/20 in your 2nd semester exams to get the 10/20 average though "compensation". Two, you do not get the 11/20 necessary in the 2nd semester exams. This means that by "compensation", you are still short of the passmark. You then resit in a "deuxième session" all exams in which you did not achieve 10/20 of both the 1st semestre exams and the 2nd semestre. 2e session = resits.

Fortunately you didn't locate my exact student :) but this is exactly the type of document I have in hand.

If your document is like the sources Abraham has tracked down, then "reprises" is like "carried forward", (reportées).
As for the matter of the number of hours, I would imagine that in each case there is the larger number of hours for the CM (cours magistraux) and the smaller number of hours for the TD (travaux dirigés). The "relevé" provides a total of obtained from the student's performance in the CM + TD. If , as in Abraham's sources, you have 00h, it simply means that for that particular module (E.C.) there is just one type of class. This makes sense for "seminaire...".

From my own experience, in the second semester of the 3rd year of my Psycho degree last year, in Developmental Psychology we just had one 2h class a week. The whole of the mark was from report of testing and a case study submitted in 2 parts.

Note that in your particular example, this is "à l'issue de la DEUXIEME SESSION", which are resits. (If the RDC follows the French system and terminology).
If you pass your exams without having to resit, then you are not concerned by the ""deuxième session". The fact that the deuxième session is mentionned, means this student had to resit.

Je pense qu'Abraham a raison. il s'agit d'un relevé officiel de ses résultats obtenus pendant le "contrôle continu" et qu'assez logiquement elles seront reprises (ajoutées) aux résultats de l'examen final. qui n'a pas forcément lieu la même année. A ce titre ce relevé n'indique ni réussite ni échec, c'est un document qui permet à l'étudiant de savoir exactement "où il en est" avec des points d'avance, ou au contraire à rattraper lors de l'examen.
Si on prend le cas de l'étudiant en Sc Eco il a 36 points d'avance sur la moyenne générale et il voit qu'en économie internationale et analyse éco de la distribution il est en dessous de la moyenne cela lui permet de savoir ce qu'il doit améliorer...

The two following "relevés" seem to confirm my theory, since they mention a number of hours, which would be meaningless in an exam:

I think the grades that have been obtained over the year ("contrôle continu") may be taken into account for the end-of-year exam, or even stand as the final grade in that subject.

It can't mean retaken, because it refers to the marks, not the examinations. I'm guessing that "reprises aux examens" is "taken from," ie "obtained in", but I'm not sure.
