Spanish term or phrase: Bedelía general
On a university diploma from Uruguay there is the signature of XXX Directora Dpto. Bedelía, but right next to it is also the signature of XXX Directora de Departamento Bedelía General.

According to a Kudoz answer from graduates of this university, 'Bedelía' is the Student Records Office. So, what would 'Bedelía general' be?

Thank you for your help :)

Student Council


Explanation:
In North America, the Student Council is the general administrative body, in universities, colleges, and some secondary institutions. Based on your information, I can't think of another student body title, unless this is referring to a signatory such as the President of the Student Council, for example, as per the source meaning.

The bedel (from medieval Latin pedellus or bidellus, occasionally bidellus generalis, from Old High German bital, pital, "the one who invites, calls"; cognate with beadle) was, and is to some extent still, an administrative official at universities in several European countries, and often had a policiary function at the time when universities had their own jurisdiction over students.

Asker: Yes, I saw this post, but my question is what is the difference between Departamento de Bedelía and Departamento de Bedelía General?
