These frequently asked questions concern the following courses: Bachelor's degrees, Master's degrees, and the University Diploma in Legal Assistance. They do not concern the University Diploma in Environmental Law or the Online Diploma in Legal Studies.
Is the diploma obtained the same as in a face-to-face program?
Yes, the diploma obtained is the same, only the teaching method changes. The diploma will not specify that the course was taken through distance learning.
How are classes conducted at EAD?
Courses are delivered via the MOODLE digital remote learning platform. This platform offers all the features needed to work independently from home while remaining connected to the network of faculty and students. It allows students to download courses posted online by instructors and interact with them on the discussion forum. Throughout the year, students are offered tutorials and homework assignments (which are not mandatory but recommended).
Are homework assignments and tutorials optional?
Yes, they are optional but highly recommended.
Two homework assignments are offered in the subjects that are covered in the written exam.
Tutorials are offered on five Saturdays per semester remotely, via videoconference, for bachelor's degree students only.
What is the schedule for the year?
The academic calendar will be provided to you upon enrollment.
As a guide, the academic year is organized as follows: Start of the academic year: mid-Octoberat the latest Teaching: semester 1, October to January; semester 2, January to April. Exam periods: 1st sessions, January and April; 2nd session, June.
Are the exams still held in Grenoble?
Yes, the exams take place in Grenoble, with no exceptions.
As a distance learning student, am I eligible for a Crous scholarship?
Crous scholarships are available (excluding university diplomas). You must contact the Crous department to have your application reviewed. As with in-person courses, attendance is monitored.
Can I validate subjects taken at another institution?
The credits (ECTS) obtained are transferable in principle, but you must apply for this. Once your registration is complete, a standard form will be available on MOODLE, and the teaching team will give their opinion (grade higher than 10, equivalent content and number of hours).
How do I apply for distance learning?
Information about applications is available online on the Faculty of Law website, under the heading "Apply and Enroll."
You must have the required qualification (e.g., a first-year degree from a French university to enroll in the second year), or apply for recognition of equivalence, which is not automatic.
You must also have read the study regulations for your year of study and the detailed procedure, which are available online on the website.
