The "COURSE Credit Act" mandates the Secretary of Education to collect and annually report comprehensive data on how institutions of higher education (IHEs) handle Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) course credits. This information, to be published on the College Scorecard website, will detail whether institutions provide such credits, the maximum number of credits allowed, the minimum scores required for acceptance, and the type of credit awarded, such as full course credit or elective credit. The Secretary must coordinate with relevant stakeholders to ensure thorough and accurate data collection. Furthermore, the bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require all IHEs participating in federal programs to prominently display their AP and IB credit policies on their public websites. Institutions must disclose whether they provide credits, the maximum number of credits, specific minimum scores needed, and the type of credit offered, including any variations based on subject or degree program. This ensures students and families have direct access to clear and updated information regarding how their prior learning exam credits will be recognized.
