Hello,
I'm translating an Academic Transcript from USA. "NR" appears after some of the subjects. As far as I know, NR Courses are those that will not be computed in the class rank. This option, according to my sources, is designed to offer students the opportunity to take a course, usually unrelated to their major, without risking a negative impact on their GPA.
If this is true, I understand the concept but I am not able to explain it in Spanish. Is there an acceptable equivalent in Spanish?
Thanks

materias/asignaturas NC
que no constan (NC) en el expediente
O tal vez 'cursos SC' - cursos sin constancia (SC) en el acta/certificado
Por lo que se ha explicado, esta es la idea.
I hope this helps!

I'm not sure why another prozian who made this suggestion earlier did not post it.

créditos de libre elección
¿Podría ser "créditos de libre elección"? Por lo que describes lo entiendo así... es decir, yo estudié TeI pero quizás tomé una asignatura de Historia del Arte porque me interesaba pero no tenía nada que ver con mi carrera...
¡Espero que te sirva!

Note from asker:
| Creo que traducirlo así a español sería un problema, puesto que en España las asignaturas de libre elección sí que computan para la nota media, por lo que el término puede llevar a error y causar un problema en caso de convalidación de estudios. |
Peer comment(s):

Alicia Pallas
: Me parece lo más cercano, aunque veo una diferencia: al menos en mi caso, las asignaturas de libre elección si se evaluaban y la nota contaba para el expediente. Seguramente es diferente en el sistema universitario actual (hablo del año 2000)

materia optativa
Creo que podria ser 'materia optativa'. Dentro de esta clasificacion estan las asignaturas relacionadas con la licenciatura pero no requeridas especificamente en el plan de estudios. Tal vez eso es lo que significa 'NR'... no requerida.
Note from asker:
| El contexto está relacionado con las notas de un instituto de secundaria, no de la universidad. Puede ser relevante. |
| NR=NO RECORD (subject, course, etc...) |

Discussion
SUBJECT + NR + GRADE (even A+).
Maybe an explanation such as "calcificación no computada en la nota media"?
No Record (NR)
The NR (No Record) grade is assigned by a faculty member for course or project work for which credit has not been earned [...]
The NR grade does not appear on the students' transcripts or grade reports, nor is it used in the calculation of satisfactory academic progress
