| Ahora que lo dices, parece superlógico, aunque hubiese pensado que colocarían "reprobado" o algo por el estilo. Muchas gracias |

Robert Copeland
: Steven, I see this the same way as you. I think you are correct: no aprobar / reprobar / fallar en las calificaciones (o notas)

Marcelo González
: This seems reasonable. If they meant to clearly indicate 'reprobado', they would have used reprobado or a similar term. 'Por aprobar' here might be similar to a grade of I for incomplete, before it's changed to an F for non-submission of outstanding work.

Robert Copeland
: Liliana, I hate to disagree, but I see this as "incomplete" in the sense that student is currently not passing/failing/below standards or expectations to pass

Robert, as Marcelo wrote previously, I think that if the student is currently failing they would have written: "Reprobado." ㋡
