French term

dot.

French to English Other Education / Pedagogy Course / fee breakdown
In a table with a student's Fiche d'inscription from Belgium showing the courses / classes attended and fees.

I have previously posted this term spelled "dol.", but can now see I misread it.

Queried term in asterisks *

Financ. Désignation Classe [Class name]
Niveau DI [droit d’inscription - Enrolment / registration fee]/Exempt.
*Dot.* U [Unité - Unit] Initiation a l'anglais Informatique UF1 (just an example of a course name)

“Dot.” comes under the “Niveau” heading, which comes under the “Finance.” heading
Sometimes under the “Dot.” heading there is the “SS” abbreviation and sometimes “SI” (which I believe stands for SS = secondaire supérieur and SI = secondaire inférieur = upper and lower secondary education)

Any idea what “Dot.” stands for? Dotation / doté?

SI SS It makes sense that SS = secondaire supérieur and SI = secondaire inférieur = upper and lower secondary education), as most subjects were marked SS, except for a beginner's English course
philgoddard Feb 28, 2022:
It could be "dotation horaire", meaning allocated hours, but I can't see how that would fit with SS and SI, assuming your interpretation of these is correct.
philgoddard Feb 28, 2022:
Elizabeth Please could you close your previous question.
Elizabeth Niklewska (asker) Feb 28, 2022:
Dotation I am also thinking along these lines, but am also unsure of what this refers to precisely in an educational context, so I could translate it.
Tony M Feb 28, 2022:
@ Asker I'd expect this to be 'dotation' — though I've no idea how you would translate that into EN in this particular context.
José Patrício Feb 28, 2022:
I suppose it has nothing to see with computing science.
Notwithstanding here is the notation:
Notez aussi que dans l'utilisation habituelle du vocabulaire informatique @ se prononce «at» en anglais et le . pour l'adresse d'un site internet par exemple se prononce «dot».
