Academic Credit Transfer
House Bill 2563 – Transfer credits; notice; examination
(Laws 2008, Chapter 2)
A school district or charter school must accept all transfer credits earned by a pupil who was previously enrolled in another school district or charter school in this state.

Provisions include:
• Allowing a school district governing board or charter school governing body to adopt a policy that determines whether a transfer credit will be assigned as an elective or a core credit.
• Requiring a school district or charter school to provide a pupil who transfers from another school district or charter school within the state with a list indicating which credits were accepted as elective credits and which were accepted as core credits.
• Allowing a transfer pupil, within 10 days of receiving the list, to request to take a test in each particular course where core credit has been denied. The test must be developed and evaluated by a teacher who teaches that particular subject matter.
• Requiring the school district or charter school to accept the credit as core credit if the student passes the test. read more...
