The purpose of the rule development is to update provisions in the rule due to statutory changes, rule changes, and for clarity. Proposed changes include: update terms for community college, technical credit, and college preparatory credit; remove the duties of the Articulation Coordinating Committee in favor of statutory provisions; clarify general education program provisions; update associate in arts and associate in science definitions; modify the associate in arts grade point average requirement to cumulative rather than in each course attempted; add language regarding baccalaureate and institution of interest; clarify initial award and transfer provisions relating to credit-by-examination; and remove references to a repealed rule. The effect will be a rule that is consistent with statute and related rules.
