equivalency
State of equality
Equivalency is the state of being equivalent—equal in value, function, or meaning.
It often appears in educational and professional contexts where one credential substitutes for another: She earned her high school equivalency diploma, The course offers college equivalency credit.
The word is interchangeable with equivalence, though equivalence is more common in technical and scientific usage.
