Explanation:
According to the referenced pages, an 'avslutat ämne' has is no longer being studied or has been completed in an earlier term. So 'completed' covers it I guess, you may want to consider expanding a bit.

agree  Deane Goltermann: Completed, nothing else! I double checked with my in-house consultant on this one...she tells me 'incomplete' = 'o' avslutat, which kinda makes sense in a Swedish sort of way.

  -> It depends whether it's been avslutat by the school system or by the pupil I think, really hard one this! Fanx for the agree anyway :)

If it had said that the student had avslutats, I would say that it was "completed" (i.e. degree programme)
