A. The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (Council), in consultation with the governing board of each public institution of higher education, shall establish a policy for granting undergraduate course credit to entering freshman students who have taken one or more Advanced Placement, Cambridge Advanced (A/AS), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), or International Baccalaureate examinations. The policy shall:
1. Outline the conditions necessary for each public institution of higher education to grant course credit, including the minimum required scores on such examinations;
2. Identify each public institution of higher education’s course credit or other academic requirements that the student satisfies by achieving the minimum required scores on such examinations; and
3. Ensure, to the extent possible, that the grant of course credit is consistent across each public institution of higher education and each such examination.
B. The Council and each public institution of higher education shall make the policy available to the public on its website.
