Spanish term

Conv. J / F / S

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
Hello all, I'm translating an academic transcript from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid. The headings for the columns are: CÓDIGO, ASIGNATURA, CRÉD., CURSO, CONV., and CALIFICACIÓN.

Under each are what you usually find, a code for the course, name, # of credits, year taken. Then under CONV. (which I'm assuming means "convocatoria"), each course has either J, F, or S. Then of course AP/NT/SB/MH under CALIFICACIÓN. What do these letters stand for, this J, F, or S? I thought there was only the ordinaria (January/June) and extraordinaria (July)? The courses were completed between 2009 and 2014. Could these be months? If so, how do I know if J stands for January, June, or July? Is anyone familiar with the Complutense and their convocatorias? Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt, the order is arbitrary here. It doesn't say CONV. F/J/S. I just put the letters in the order I found them in the context for the courses listed. That's just the order the guy passed the first few courses. Thanks!

University exam sittings in Spain are usually February, June and September, but it's strange that the order of the letters is J / F / S, and not F / J / S.

The Complutense apparently does the "ordinaria" in late January/February (F) for the fall semester and late May/June/July (J), depending on the faculty, for the spring semester, then the "extraordinaria" in September (S). Thanks for your input Phil!

Sorry, I looked it up and rewrote my post, so your answer doesn't fit my question. But thanks for clarifying.

Convocatoria de examen. Students in Spain have more than one chance to sit their exams. The "ordinaria", right after the semester when the class was taught, and the "extraordinaria" later, usually in July or September, to have another chance to pass or to take the exam for the first time if they didn't sit during the "convocatoria ordinaria".

I had to look up "convocatoria" - I think it means when the exams were taken.
If they are months, J could be junio or julio (are they open in July?), but not enero. F could be febrero, and S septiembre.
