What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System

to establish policies for the transfer of credits earned by a high school pupil enrolled

in a course at a UW System institution or at an educational institution outside the

UW System. If the credits are not transferable under the policies, the board must

permit the individual to take an examination to determine the individual's

competency in the subject area of the course. The bill requires the board to award

equivalent credits to an individual who earns a passing score on the examination.
