This legislation, titled the Reverse Transfer Efficiency Act of 2025 , proposes an amendment to Section 444(b)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act. The primary goal is to facilitate the process of awarding recognized postsecondary credentials by allowing the transfer of academic records. Specifically, it authorizes an institution of postsecondary education where a student was previously enrolled to receive records of postsecondary coursework and credits. This enables the application of these credits toward the completion of a recognized postsecondary credential, as defined by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. A crucial safeguard is included, requiring the student to provide written consent prior to receiving the credential for this record release to occur.
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
