Bill > H1430

This bill requires all public higher education institutions in Massachusetts to create and implement written policies by September 1, 2027, that fully accept college credits for Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Specifically, the bill mandates that these institutions must grant full college credits to students who have successfully completed AP courses and achieved proficient scores on AP tests. Advanced Placement courses are rigorous high school classes that allow students to potentially earn college credit by demonstrating mastery of college-level material through comprehensive exams. The bill aims to standardize and streamline the process of awarding college credits for AP coursework across Massachusetts' public higher education system, potentially making college more accessible and cost-effective for students who have already demonstrated academic proficiency in high school.
