Spanish term or phrase: unidades (educación)
Estoy traduciendo un expediente curricular.

El documento contiene una lista de todas las materias vistas, con sus códigos, período lectivo, notas, unidades, sección, además de un resumen académico que incluye: número de unidades incritas, número de unidades aprobadas, número de unidades aprobadas por equivalencia, total de unidades aprobadas, eficiencia, número de asignaturas inscritas, número de asignaturas aprobadas, número de asignaturas por equivalencia, número de asignaturas retiradas, pomedio general de notas, promedio ponderado de notas, promedio general de notas aprobadas y promedio ponderado de notas aprobadas.

En este caso pareciera que las "unidades" cumplen la misma función de lso créditos. ¿Piensan que lo debería traducir como "credits" o les parece que "units" en inglés mantiene el sentido? Muchas gracias por adelantado.

credits
Explanation:
In terms of the numeric value assigned to an academic course, one *always* speaks of credits (or perhaps *credit units* or *units of credit*), rather than *units* alone. Your first instinct was, I think, correct.
