Bill > HB598

This bill, the Transfer With Success Act 2.0, establishes a statewide transfer platform to facilitate the transfer of students from community colleges to 4-year institutions of higher education in Maryland. The key provisions include requiring receiving institutions to approve the transfer of credits if at least 70% of the learning outcomes are equivalent, creating a transfer platform to allow students and advisors to determine course transferability and access other features, mandating 4-year institutions to honor the information in the platform, and providing $1 million in annual funding to support the platform's operation. The bill also requires public institutions and certain private institutions with significant transfer activity to participate in the platform.
