AB 230

This bill allows a student enrolled in a University of Wisconsin System school

or technical college who served in the military to object to the transfer of academic

credit from the student's military transcript to the UW System school or technical

college.

Current law requires the Board of Regents of the UW System to establish

policies for transferring credits between UW System schools and to enter into an

agreement for the transfer of certain credits between UW System schools and

technical colleges. Current law also allows the Board of Regents to establish policies

for credit transfers with other educational institutions.

Also under current law, each UW System school and technical college must,

upon receiving from the federal Department of Defense a student's official joint

services transcript or Community College of the Air Force transcript, do the

following: 1) accept all American Council on Education credit recommendations

included in the official joint services transcript and award academic credit to the

student in accordance with these recommendations; and 2) accept all credits

included in the CCAF transcript and award academic credit to the student

accordingly.

Under this bill, if a student objects to the awarding of credit for any course

included in the official joint services transcript or CCAF transcript, the UW System

school or technical college may not award credit for that course.
