Easier Degree Completion: Reverse Transfer of College Credits.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Colleges can now share student records regarding coursework and credits to award degrees based on credits earned across different schools (known as reverse transfer). Students who transferred can automatically receive a formal credential (like an associate's degree) from their previous school if they accumulated enough credits. The sharing of educational records for the purpose of awarding a credential is only permitted with the student's prior written consent.

This law simplifies the process for students who transferred between colleges to automatically receive a postsecondary credential (like an associate's degree) from their previous institution. It allows colleges to share records of coursework and credits to award the credential based on credits already earned. This process requires the student's written consent before the credential is issued, ensuring control over educational data.
