Medical education transcript
I am currently working on my first medical education transcript from a university in BELGIUM. There are a few elements on this transcript that are unfamiliar to me compared to non-medical education transcripts. Most significantly, there are 5 columns to the right of each course listed: Sem., SP, ST, Zit1, Zit 2. As these are unfamiliar to me from more general education transcripts, I am currently doing some research to figure out what each of these values represents, and figured there is probably someone here who can help save me a little time! As an example, a few of lines from the transcript look like this:
>>>>>>> Sem...SP...ST....Zit1.....Zit2
Anatomie 1 < …. 6....177....V...…….V
Anatomie 2 >….. 7....192....11,5*…11,5*
Anatomie 3 …..9....252....12.0*...12.0*
NOTE: The values under Sem. (semester?) are really just half circles (left and right facing, and whole, in descending order). I'm assuming these just reflect 1st/2nd/both semester(s), but please correct me if that is wrong. Also, please ignore all the ellipses. That's the only way I could remotely get the values to line up since this undoes spacing and does not seem to allow me to post a sample image.
As for the remaining columns and the values they reflect, any insights/direction from translators who have done medical education transcripts before would certainly be appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
James

Sem. - CP - HoS - EP 1 - EP 2
Sem. = semester = semester = Sem., if you wish
SP = studiepunten = credit points = CP, if you wish
ST = studietijd = hours of study = HoS, if you wish
Zit 1 = examenperiode 1 = examination period 1 = EP 1, if you wish
Zit 2 = examenperiode 2 = examination period 2 = EP 2, if you wish
NB: 'hours of study', if time is expressed in hours.
It seems so.
See reference comments.
For the Netherlands:
What are credit points?
Credit points are a unit of calculation. Every credit point you obtain is equal to 28 hours of study. If you have a course that takes one and a half weeks (56 study hours), you will earn 2 credit points. If you have completed a large course of, for instance, 280 study hours, you will receive 10 credit points. Of course, the university or university of applied sciences also wants proof that you have worked well during those hours. Thus, a course is usually concluded with an exam or report. If you pass this satisfactorily, you will be awarded the credit points. Otherwise not. Prevent study stress and earn credit points… if you have not earned enough credit points, you have a real problem.
An academic year consists of 60 credit points
An academic year consists of 60 credit points. If your study programme lasts three years, you have to earn 3×60 = 180 credit points. Your study programme is then complete. A student typically has different courses in such an academic year. Sometimes a part is self-study, sometimes a portion involves a lecture and at other times it includes doing an internship or excursion. The way the credit points are earned is different at each institution. It is also possible that a student’s work load in the first year is largely composed of lectures and self-study, while, in the third year, there is an internship or practical course, for example.

Belgium = 25 - 30 hours per credit point

James,
I found the page with these symbols.
If you place your cursor above them, you'll find:
(left half circle) eerste semester - first semester
(right half circle) tweede semester - second semester
(full circle) beide semesters - both semesters
Also, see 'Legende' to the left, it explains all symbols.

Note from asker:
| Thank you so much, Barend! This is incredibly helpful. Just another quick question regarding those (half) circles I mention. Do these indeed represent 1st (left half)/2nd (right half) /both (full) semesters? You can see an image of these here: https://www.kuleuven-kulak.be/nl/faculteiten/geneeskunde/Studeren/studenten/figuurisp/image_view_fullscreen |
