Subject: AP/CI/IB policy-Please post by September 15, 2018

Greetings!
Please distribute to those on your campuses who work with dual credit policies.

In adherence to Senate Bill 5917 passed during the session earlier this year, the Instruction Commission has approved the attached policy for awarding credit for minimum scores for students coming to our community and technical colleges with scores in Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and/or Cambridge International (CI). As you are probably aware, we have already have a policy for awarding credit for AP and a crosswalk for students transferring among our colleges that includes course equivalencies for minimum scores which is monitored by the Articulation and Transfer Council (ATC). I have included that existing policy along with the newly adopted policies for IB and Cambridge in one table. ATC will be working this upcoming year with faculty and our four-year partners to develop a crosswalk for IB and Cambridge, similar to what we have produced for AP, and to review our current policies. The deadline for this work is fall 2020. As noted in the attached, our minimum policies for awarding credit are in alignment with our public baccalaureate institutions, providing the greatest options for transfer students regardless of which baccalaureate institution they attend and supporting a seamless transfer of credits.

What is currently required based on SB 5917 is that “The credit policies regarding IB and Cambridge International examinations must be posted on campus web sites effective for the fall 2018 academic term.” Please post this policy or update your existing policies to reflect the attached and post on your websites by September 15th, 2018, before the start of the fall 2018 academic term. Please make sure that students (and legislators) can easily access through a search function.

We appreciate your timely attention to this request during a busy time in the quarter with students. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Joyce
