---------- Referred to Committee on Education ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 23-9.2:3.02 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 23-9.2:3.02. Articulation agreements.

A. Beginning with academic year 2006-2007, the governing board of each four-year public institution of higher education shall develop additional articulation and transfer agreements with uniform application to all institutions within the Virginia Community College System that (i) meet appropriate general education and program requirements at the four-year institutions; and (ii) provide additional opportunities for associate degree graduates to be admitted and enrolled.

B. Students enrolling at an institution within the Virginia Community College System may declare an intention in writing to transfer to a four-year public institution of higher education in Virginia having an articulation agreement with the relevant community college. The articulation agreement in force at the time of the student's declaration shall determine those credits that will be transferred from the community college to the four-year public institution upon successful completion of an associate degree.

C.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the admission of students of the Virginia Community College System by a four-year public institution of higher education.

The State Council of Higher Education, consistent with its responsibility to facilitate the development of articulation agreements set forth in §§ 23-9.6:1 and 23-9.14:2, shall develop guidelines for such agreements.
