English term or phrase: forgiveness repeats

I understand what this means, but I don't know what to call it in Spanish (Castilian). The phrase is "forgiveness repeats". This is from an American University transcript.

For students entering the university after fall semester 1987, hours carried on both the
original and repeat attempts are used to calculate the grade point average except that students may declare a maximum of two courses as **forgiveness repeats** and have the original grade dropped from grade point average calculations.

Any ideas? I appreciate your help. I usually translate from Spanish to English, so this text, goint into Spanish, is giving me a lot of difficulties. Thanks for your help.

Spanish translation:dispensación académica / perdón académico

Explanation:
"Forgiveness repeat = Academic forgiveness".

La primera opción es la que te propongo yo, que es la que me parece adecuada. La segunda me parece un calco del inglés, pero como parece ser bastante común también te la dejo por si quieres usarla.
