En los certificados de estudios emitidos en Uruguay, la escala de calificaciones incluye, entre otros, no aprobado, aprobado y exonerado.
"Exonerado" se refiere a cuando el estudiante obtiene una calificación determinada para aprobar el curso y no tener que rendir examen.
Planteo la consulta, porque la sugerencia de "exempted" planteada en http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/education_pedag... no me parece la más acertada, pues en los diccionarios que consulté (papel y online) "exempted" se refiere a responsabilidad.
Y, en el área de educación, en inglés, no tiene el mismo significado http://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/global/australian-educati...
http://www.education.ie/en/Parents/Information/Irish-Exempti...
que en español. Sigue relacionado a exoneración de responsabildad de alguna índole.
No estoy segura si se usa ese concepto en inglés, por lo que creo que tendré que hacer una nota al pie.
Agradezco la ayuda que puedan brindarme.

pass / passed with (final) examination waived
In this context of a final grade appearing on a transcript for a student whose performance earned him or her a waiver of the final exam, perhaps something along these lines would be a good option.

Though I agree with Lorena in that "exempted from" is fine, "waiver" and "waived" are commonly used in the context of examinations (see G-hits below), even if this information may not be included very often in academic transcripts.

: I agree that "exempted from" is fine; that said, applying for an examination waiver (or having an exam "waived") is commonly used language as well.
