§ 23-9.14:2. State Transfer Module
A. The Council shall develop, in cooperation with the governing boards of the public two- and four-year institutions of higher education, a State Transfer Module that designates those general education courses that are offered within various associate degree programs at the public two-year institutions that are transferable for credit or admission with standing as a junior (third year) to the public four-year institutions.
In developing such Module, the Council shall also seek the participation of private institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth.
B. The Council shall also require the development and implementation of articulation, transfer, and dual enrollment and admissions agreements between the Commonwealth's public two- and four-year institutions of higher education, including agreements to establish dual admissions programs for qualified students to be simultaneously accepted by a community college and a four-year public institution of higher education and, upon successful completion of an associate degree program from the community college, to be automatically enrolled in the four-year institution of higher education. Dual admissions agreements shall set forth (i) the obligations of the students accepted in such programs, including grade point average requirements, acceptable associate degree majors, and completion timetables; and (ii) the student's access to the privileges of enrollment in both institutions during the time enrolled in either institution. Such agreements shall be subject to the admissions requirements of the four-year institutions. The Council shall require the public two- and four-year institutions of higher education to develop and implement such agreements, in accordance with the guidelines for articulation, transfer, and dual enrollment and admissions agreements required by § 23-9.2:3.02.
C. The Council shall develop and make available to the public information identifying (i) all general education courses offered at public two-year institutions and designating those that are accepted for purposes of transfer for course credit at four-year public and private institutions of higher education in Virginia; and (ii) those two- and four-year public institutions that have entered into articulation, transfer, and dual enrollment and admissions agreements as required by § 23-9.2:3.02.
