Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Chapter 1.1 of Title 23 a section numbered 23-9.14:2 as follows:

§ 23-9.14:2. State Transfer Module.

A. The Council shall develop, in cooperation with the governing boards of the public two- and four-year institutions of higher education, a State Transfer Module that designates those general education courses that are offered within various associate degree programs at the public two-year institutions that are transferable for credit or admission with standing as a junior (third year) to the public four-year institutions.

In developing such Module, the Council shall also seek the participation of private institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth.

B. The Council shall also facilitate the development of dual admissions and articulation agreements between the Commonwealth's public and private two- and four-year institutions of higher education. Such agreements shall be subject to the admissions requirements of the four-year institutions.

C. The Council shall develop and make available to the public information identifying all general education courses offered at public two-year institutions and designating those that are accepted for purposes of transfer for course credit at four-year public and private institutions of higher education in Virginia.
