Higher education; transfer of course credit. Directs the State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV), in cooperation with the governing boards of the public two- and four-year institutions of higher education, to develop a State Transfer Module that designates those general education courses 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.
The measure also directs SCHEV to (i) facilitate the development of dual admissions and articulation agreements between the public and private two- and four-year institutions; and (ii) 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. Any articulation agreements will be subject to admissions requirements of the four-year institutions.
