Spanish term or phrase: libre
Buenos días:

Contexto:

Los alumnos regulares deberán cumplir con los requisitos anteriores y haber rendido los parciales con nota no inferior a seis. Los que no cumplan estas condiciones serán considerados alumnos **libres**.

En la Argentina, quedar libre es no pasar la materia. Pero el texto me parece ambiguo.
Sugerencias?

Gracias por adelantado!

can gain credit by exam
Explanation:
Es difícil por la falta de equivalente en los distintos sistemas, pero esta frase en ingles por lo menos se entiende como la posibilidad de rendir sin asistir a clase y así aprobar la materia, que es el sentido de "rendir libre" o "quedar libre". Los estudiantes regulares que aprueban parciales muchas veces no tienen que rendir finales.

Explanation:
A rather free interpretation, but that is what a low cumulative score often results in.

external student


Explanation:
Tengo entendido que en Argentina un alumno libre es alguien que únicamente se presenta para rendir el examen, sin ir a las clases, rendir parciales, o entregar trabajos prácticos.
Quiere decir que solo tienen que presentarse en persona para el examen, y lo demás pueden hacer a distancia.

Para el Reino Unido, encontré 'external student' (ver referencias). En muchos casos tiene que ver con personas que quieren volver a rendir un examen, así que quizás te sirva para el contexto que compartiste.

Example sentence(s):
  • Students are eligible to resit assessments as an external student in an academic session if:
  • If an Examination Board has awarded you the option to enrol as an external student (please refer to your progression decision on your student record), you must complete the following enrolment process.

without an obligation


Explanation:
Los estudiantes tienen que aprobarse entre los requisitos previos y tienen que superar una nota mínima en los exámenes de medio-semestre (tienen que rendir los parciales). Los que no cumplen las condiciones son considerados como alumnos libres. Es decir que estarán libres sin ser obligados a asistir a un curso de un nuevo régimen de horarios de los estudios a continuación, y podrán volver a presentarse a los exámenes de nuevo.

(Students must pass all the previous requirements in the mid-term exams. Those who don't meet the conditions are considered as free students. That's to say that they won't be obliged to attend more courses and timetables of continuing studies, but they will be able to repeat exams.)

Example sentence(s):
  • Los alumnos rendirán exámenes libres del Ministerio de Educación. (The pupils will take exams set by the Education Ministry.)
  • Los alumnos libres (no oficiales) son aquellos que solamente quieren presentarse a los exámenes sin cursar enseñanzas en la escuela. (Unofficial students are those who only want to take exams without attending courses.)
