Catalan term

matrícula lliure

Catalan to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
On cal anar a fer els exàmens?
A través dels centres de secundària s'informa de tots els detalls sobre les proves (llocs, aula, horari,...). A la UAB, els dies de les proves, a les entrades de les facultats hi haurà les llistes de distribució dels alumnes per aules. Els estudiants que fan ***matrícula lliure*** poden demanar la seva aula a l'Àrea d'Afers Acadèmics de la UAB.

Where must I go to sit the exams?
Secondary education centres provide all the details on the examinations (place, room, time etc.). At the UAB, lists showing in which room each student will take the exams will be available at the entrance to the faculties. Els estudiants que fan matrícula lliure poden demanar la seva aula a l'Àrea d'Afers Acadèmics de la UAB.

Not quite sure what this means. I assumed from the context that it was people who registered on the day of the exams themselves, but the bit of information I've managed to find (in Castillian) implies there's a period for "matrícula libre".

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Nov 30, 2004:
A few comments I read the info for the EOIs as well. But are there classes for the Selectivitat? I just thought it was a continuation of the batxillerat.

Casey: "Free" adds ambiguity, as this would probably be interpreted by an English reader as "gratu�t"!

I just found more info. that might help:

"Qu� s'ha de fer per matricular-se a les PAU i saber els resultats?
A trav�s del vostre centre es fan tots els tr�mits de prematr�cula, matr�cula, recollida de notes, etc. Els estudiants que fan matr�cula lliure a la prova han d'acudir a la universitat on est� adscrit el seu centre de secund�ria. En el cas de ser la UAB, cal adre�ar-se a l'�rea d'Afers Acad�mics aproximadament en el mes de febrer."

external or independent candidate

I am not sure, but I think this may refer to students who have not followed a particular course and are entering as external or independent candidates.

WOW! You have had your work cut out for you on this one, haven't you. What a lot of procedures for which there is no direct equivalent in English!

I was an external "A" level candidate when I did mine. I did not go to night school, I simply read the set texts and course books in my own time and then sat the exam on the day. Perhaps this is what this implies?

it would seem that Mar has confirmed that my take on this was right. It IS external candidate. Someone who doesn\'t do the course but just turns up and does the exam.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Bernie. Also thanks to Sheila for the information from another part of the UAB website. I'll probably end up translating that other text at some point as well."

free registration

You don't even need to know quite what it means; "free registration" will retain the ambiguity of the original and have the proper meaning in English as long as every use of the source term is translated in that way.

\"Students with free registration can ask...\" or \"Students under free registration...\" \"Open registration\" can also work.

Per a poder fer les PAU, s\'ha de formalitzar la matrícula. Existeixen dues modalitats de matriculació:

- Matrícula ordinària, per als alumnes que aquest curs aprovin el batxillerat LOGSE en centres adscrits a la UAB.

- Matrícula lliure:

* Per als alumnes que hagin aprovat el batxillerat LOGSE, en cursos anteriors, en centres que estiguin adscrits a la UAB o hi hagin estat adscrits, tant per als alumnes que no s\'hi hagin presentat mai com per als que tenen les PAU suspeses o hagin aprovat les PAU a la UAB i vulguin millorar la nota.
* Per als alumnes que hagin fet estudis a l\'estranger, convalidables amb el batxillerat LOGSE, i que hagin aprovat un curs de batxillerat LOGSE en un centre adscrit a la UAB o que hi hagi estat adscrit.
* Per a la convocatòria de setembre, es consideraran de matrícula lliure els alumnes que, havent superat el batxillerat LOGSE en la convocatòria de juny del curs actual, vulguin millorar la nota de les PAU.

¿En qué consiste la matrícula libre?

La matrícula libre supone que el alumno que opte por ella tiene derecho a examinarse en la EOI, en las convocatorias de junio y septiembre pero no tiene derecho a asistir a clase.

registered for exams only

This is just a possibility. I'm not sure whether such an option is available in British universities, but in Catalonia you can register to do the exams only (you have no right to attend lectures though). "Matrícula lliure" would not be ambiguous to a Catalan student.
