Requires public institution of higher education to provide academic credit for certain examinations.
This bill requires New Jersey's public colleges and universities to award academic credit to students who earn a score of 3 or higher on Advanced Placement (AP) exams or 50 or higher on College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) assessments. It directly affects high school students who take these exams before enrolling in college and public institutions of higher education. The law mandates that institutions post their credit policies online, report policies to the Higher Education Secretary, and allow limited exemptions for specific courses if institutions provide data showing different score requirements are necessary for student success. Students must be pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree and have completed the exams while in high school (grades 9-12) to qualify.
