Third-Party Materials
Third-party materials refer to those that Université Libérale de Paris has acquired, rented, or used under copyright agreements. Some training materials are developed by the university's instructors. Although these materials are reviewed and endorsed by the Scientific Council, there may be instances where specific content is not entirely suitable for international students (what is accurate in one country may not be in another). In such cases, Université Libérale de Paris will promptly adjust the content if the issue is significant. However, the university disclaims responsibility for any impact of inappropriate information beyond the classroom setting.

Students and stakeholders are permitted to use the training content solely for personal learning and research purposes. Reproduction of this content in any form, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes, is prohibited. Details regarding copyright-related matters can be found in the Copyright Policy section.

Credit is the acknowledgment of the amount and duration of study required to acquire knowledge.

Université Libérale de Paris employs the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) for its credit system. Some programs also utilize the UK RQF credit system due to partnerships with the British education system.

Credit recognition is an internal process carried out by the Academic Board of Université Libérale de Paris. The university, along with its partners, does not guarantee that credits recognized by Université Libérale de Paris will be recognized by other universities or external parties outside its authority.

If students intend to transfer credits from Université Libérale de Paris to another educational system or university, they are advised to consult with the target institution beforehand. Université Libérale de Paris will provide support within its scope but does not interfere with the admission decisions of other universities. The university does not commit to the recognition of credits by external institutions.

The concept of "Credits" varies between educational systems, especially due to differences in training duration and models that constitute credits. Students should carefully consider these variations if they plan to transfer credits or study results from Université Libérale de Paris to other educational systems.

Upon completing the required learning content and fulfilling all obligations, including adherence to academic discipline and integrity, students may be awarded a Private Degree from Université Libérale de Paris (where applicable). In cases of dual qualifications or programs conducted in partnership with other institutions, students may also receive an additional qualification or confirmation from the respective partner institution. For more information, please refer to the Disclaimer section.

Recognition of qualifications varies widely by country, institution, and region, as each has its own regulatory framework. According to international standards, the recognition or acceptance of qualifications is a discretionary decision of the receiving agency, government, or regional policy. This process is beyond the involvement or support of Université Libérale de Paris and the Online University of France, and thus the institutions explicitly disclaim any responsibility in this matter.

Candidates are strongly advised to thoroughly investigate the recognition and acceptance of their post-graduation qualifications before enrolling. As previously emphasized, Université Libérale de Paris, the Online University of France, and their partners (including partner universities and scientific collaborators) do not make any commitments or promises regarding the recognition of qualifications. The institutions fully reserve the right to waive this responsibility before, during, and after the student’s graduation.
