: Mmm...not really, in this context.It's more about qualifications acquired/obtained.

Not only. That's why I mentioned all the options. VAPP is specifically to pass a single course/unit. Don't trust me if you wish but I live in France and went through the process myself. I'm saying the same as Tony M. anyway and his answer came first

Tony M
: Agree in principle with most of your suggestion, except I wouldn't use 'former' in such a context, since it always carries the idea of 'previously, but no longer' / The 'institution' might be 'former', but not the 'result'.

It's usually from an institution or a setting (such as a former university or workplace) you left for good to move to your new institution

: that looks like a "stand-alone" procedure, not like just one possible ingredient for obtaining a regular/standard degree.

It's commonly integrated into a personalized curriculum towards a degree/certification. Anyway I don't suggest that the asker use those specific acronyms (they're there just by way of example) but the general expression

Discussion
IOW "antérieurement" means here "before being admitted to this degree course".
God help you with these grade transcripts, it's not the most challenging work, to say the least.
I think C is the shorthand for what Tony has translated.
Maybe a grade obtained in a previous term or academic year, or even at a different university.
