Since May 2017, the law requires universities to provide their students with academic recognition for their social and civic commitments.
Academic recognition for social and civic commitments
Regardless of whether the student is involved with civic or social activities within or outside the Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier (UT3), the university can recognise it in their degree and, under certain conditions, with 2 or 3 ECTS, as part of the “Social and Civic Involvement” teaching unit. The types of social and civic activities offered by the UT3 are listed below.
