Why not? The French education system is very cumbersome. In order to reach the higher cycle, in this case the second cycle, there are several paths possible, different "premier cycle", but each must be "validated". It's akin to credit transfers from one university to an other in the US, though there is no monetary motivation in this case, just a concern with the value of the ultimate degree.
