Plain-language summary

This bill would require Kentucky's Council on Postsecondary Education to create and publish clear transfer pathways between public colleges and universities in certain four-year degree programs. It also requires colleges to count transfer credits as general education or program-specific credits before treating them as electives, which could help students avoid losing credits when they switch schools. The council would also be required to notify institutions and coordinate discussions when curriculum changes might affect transfer students. Who it may affect: students transferring between Kentucky's public colleges and universities, and staff at those institutions who manage academic credit and curriculum.
