1. University Name, Logo, and Branding

No individual, employee, faculty member, Dean, Department Chair, college, ministry, organization, or affiliated entity is authorized to establish, operate, or advertise an independent website, educational platform, student portal, or institution using the HBIU name, logo, seal, branding, or institutional identity without prior written authorization through the University's governing leadership.

This includes misleading social media accounts, promotional advertisements, certificates, recruitment platforms, payment channels, and other materials implying official HBIU authorization or affiliation.

2. Intellectual Property and Copyright Protection

All textbooks, course manuals, teaching materials, research publications, examination materials, instructional videos, digital resources, and other copyrighted works owned by HBIU or its respective authors and rights holders are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Unauthorized copying, modification, publication, resale, redistribution, uploading, or sharing of protected materials, including through WhatsApp, Telegram, websites, and other digital platforms, is prohibited except where permitted by applicable law or authorized by the relevant rights holder.

3. Unauthorized Websites and Student Registration

No HBIU college, department, employee, or representative may independently establish student registration platforms, issue alternative university student identification numbers, maintain unauthorized academic records, or collect payments while representing such activities as officially approved by HBIU.

The University's official main website is:

www.hbiuglobal.org

Students and the public are advised to verify institutional communications, registration instructions, and academic services directly through authorized University channels.

4. Professorships, Appointments, and Academic Credentials

No individual, Dean, Department Chair, institutional representative, or affiliated college is permitted to independently confer professorships, academic ranks, honorary awards, degrees, diplomas, certificates, or official university appointments without the required institutional authorization.

This restriction applies to all countries in which HBIU operates or is represented and the United States.

Academic credentials and appointment documents issued without the required University approvals and the Chancellor's personally applied or authenticated signature are not approved by the Office of the Chancellor and are subject to formal verification.

The unauthorized use or reproduction of the Chancellor's signature, the University's official seal, or institutional credentials is strictly prohibited.

5. Institutional Authorization

All activities involving the University's institutional identity, separate campus operations, issuance of credentials, student registration systems, and use of protected academic materials must have the required written consent and authorization of the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, and HBIU Board of Directors, consistent with the University's governing procedures.

Holding an academic or administrative position within HBIU does not independently grant an individual authority to use the University's identity or establish a separate institution.

These measures may be pursued in the United States or other applicable jurisdictions.
