Spanish term or phrase: agota convocatoria
LA MENCIÓN “NO PRESENTADO” NO AGOTA CONVOCATORIA DE EXÁMEN A EFECTO DEL CÓMPUTO TOTAL DE LAS MISMAS. I apologize for my previous question, which was unclear. I do not understand what "no agota convocatoria de examen" means. Can someone explain this, and what is a "call for exam" under the Spanish university system? It makes no sense to me.

(does not) use up the exam period


Explanation:
Oxford - "convocatoria"

b (anuncio — para una reunión) notification; (— de exámenes, concursos) official announcement; recibió una convocatoria para la asamblea she received notification of
the meeting, she was notified of the meeting
c (Educ) (período de exámenes): aprobó cinco asignaturas en la convocatoria de junio she passed five subjects in the June exams

"agotar" means "to use up" as far as the exam period is concerned


In this case, "... does not use up all the exam time (period for the exams) for the purpose of their total calculation."
