Bill > SB243

This bill requires public higher education institutions in Missouri to establish a policy for granting undergraduate course credit to incoming freshman students who have taken Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations. Specifically, the bill mandates that institutions grant credit for AP exams where students score 3 or higher and for IB exams where students score 4 or higher, with the credit corresponding to similarly related courses at the institution. The policy must clearly outline the conditions for granting course credit, identify the specific number of semester credit hours that will be awarded, and establish the academic requirements associated with these credits. Additionally, when an applicant requests information, the institution must provide details about the amount and type of course credit they would receive based on their AP or IB exam scores, as well as any academic requirements the scores would satisfy. This legislation aims to provide transparent and standardized credit recognition for students who have completed rigorous academic coursework in high school through AP or IB programs.
