Bill > HB0353

This bill amends existing Utah law to improve the transferability of college credits and streamline educational pathways for students. It clarifies that the Utah Board of Higher Education, which governs all state higher education institutions, must establish and maintain clear pathways for students to transfer credits, including those from institutions outside of the Utah System of Higher Education, and to receive credit for prior learning. The bill also requires institutions to inform students of their options for appealing credit transfer decisions and ensures that competency-based general education courses from accredited institutions can be transferred. Additionally, it allows for customization of technical education programs to meet regional industry demands while maintaining common course structures and objectives. The bill takes effect on May 6, 2026.
