HR 6135: Transferring Credits for College Completion Act of 2012

The Transferring Credits for College Completion Act of 2012 will require that all institutions participating in federal student aid programs report on graduation rates of transfer students and publish information on transferability of all courses and programs of study in course books and online course guides. Additionally, the legislation requires that by 2014 all public institutions participating in Federal student aid programs participate in a common, statewide agreement that:

• Provides for a common core curriculum across all public institutions within the state;
• Provides for common course numbering within the common core curriculum; and
• Guarantees that an associate’s degree fulfills the first two years of a related program at a public 4-year institution within the state.
