c.a.

English to Spanish Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Transcripts
I'm translating a transcript of a student at an Italian university.
The transcript is being sent to another university.
There's one line for the name of the university, and then on the next line
it reads "c.a." followed by the student's name.

Does anybody know what this abbreviation stands for?
Thank you in advance for any ideas and suggestions.

A/A a la atención de La abreviatura de la construcción a la atención es A/A (a veces también escrita a/a). No es apropiada, en cambio, la forma a la att., con una t duplicada producto probablemente del calco de la abreviatura en inglés (attention), pues en la palabra española atención solo hay una.

@lorenab23 The original transcript is in English, but I think "c.a." is in Italian. What you're suggesting makes a lot of sense. What should I use for the Spanish versión?
lorenab23 May 1, 2017:
Usually c.a. in Italian means cortese attenzione, this seems to fit the context since it is followed by the student's name.
Please see:
La formula di apertura
[...]
C.A (cortese attenzione)
