pass criteria / pass without a final exam
Explanation:
Son dos casos diferentes y por lo tanto requieren dos traducciones diferentes.

En el primer caso, promoción se refiere a los mecanismos para evaluar a los alumnos y decidir si aprueban la materia. Yo lo traduciría como:
1-. Mecanismos de evaluación y **promoción** -- Evaluation methods and pass criteria

En el segundo caso se refiere al alumno que cumple con los requisitos para 'promocionar' la materia sin rendir un examen final.
Yo lo traduciría como:
Condición de alumno Regular por **Promoción** -- Conditions for passing without a final exam

Espero que sea de ayuda :)

moving up > to the next class or hurdle level


Explanation:
no promoción > to go into the remove /class/ like the fictiona, fat English schoolboy 'Billy Bunter'. The IATE entry IMO has got the idea back-to-front.

In descending order of CL - confidence level: 4, 3, 2:

... fictional..

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: es promoción de clase EP en remove
  • The success is proving the model that is now around 30 years old - in the last school year only 25 of the 733 pupils did not move up a class.

agree  neilmac: Yes, I don't think we use "promotion" in this sense in the UK. I came across it the other day referring to a batch of new employees joining a company...

  -> Thanks, Neil. Moving up a class or year is bog-standard terminology, unless of course the dunces end up in the remove.

graduation


Explanation:
In this context of a university, I'd say this may be the best option.

promoción = progressing from one grade to another (in the K-12 environment) / graduation (in this context of post-secondary/tertiary education)

**Criteria for Evaluation [i.e., at the individual course level] and Graduation**, with the latter part of the equation referring to the university's requirements for fully admitted (i.e., regular) students to graduate, i.e., its 'mechanism' (or criteria) for clearing students for graduation

I hope this helps :-)
