further suggestion

So many institutions use acronyms that have no meaning to anyone except to them and often under very narrow circumstances. If you were to ask someone from the same institution they would probably not know. The average native speaker of the language would have no idea, to them they would just be letters of the alphabet.

Unless the meaning becomes apparent from some other context on the document or another credible source there seems to be no harm in placing a note saying "meaning of acronym unknown", for that is what anyone reading the original document would also see... something that has no meaning to them.

Therefore it is an accurate translation despite that lapse.

The above, of course, after scratching our heads, researching and then coming to the conclusion that we cannot find a definitive answer.

[Total] Number of Hours

NH = Número de horas

I looked N.H up in the glossary yesterday and saw this question. I ended up figuring it out - in my case (similar context) it referred to the total number of class hours.
