Your registration form is not a transcript. It only shows the courses for which you must register (or possibly for which you can re-register to improve a grade).

If you have received a grade of 6 or "passed", the result will not be visible on your registration form because you have no interest in repeating it.

Your transcript is the official record of your grades. If you see all your grades on it, it's all in order.

The exams you have already passed, below the maximum grade of 6, are visible on your form.

You can either ignore them or re-register for them if you wish to improve your result.

But be careful, if your re-register, it will cancel the previous result!
