  • policy
  • definition

(1)

As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “state institution of higher education” or “institution” has the same meaning as provided in section 23-18-102 (10); except that “state institution of higher education” or “institution” includes each local district college that is part of a local college district organized pursuant to article 71 of this title 23 and the area technical colleges, as defined in section 23-60-103.

(2)

On or before January 1, 2018, each governing board of a state institution of higher education shall adopt, make public, and implement a prior learning assessment policy for awarding academic credit for college-level learning acquired while in the military. The policy adopted by the governing board must require each campus of the institution to:

(a)

Use the American Council on Education’s recommendations on the joint services transcript, among other factors, to evaluate college-level learning acquired by a student while in the military and, at the discretion of the campus, assign appropriate prior learning assessment credit;

(b)

Provide specific guidance to active duty and veteran military members in selecting a program of study and in optimizing the use of prior learning assessment credit to accelerate the student’s path to degree or certificate completion in the chosen program of study; and

(c)

Beginning June 1, 2018, accept in transfer from within the institution and from other state institutions of higher education prior learning assessment credit awarded for courses with guaranteed-transfer designation, unless the Colorado commission on higher education adopts a new policy prior to June 1, 2018, concerning the transfer of prior learning assessment credit for courses with guaranteed-transfer designation that requires each campus to accept in transfer credit awarded by a state institution of higher education pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2)(a) of this section. Each campus may also accept other prior learning assessment credit toward the student’s program of study if the credit meets standards established by the campus.

(3)

The state institution of higher education shall grant prior learning assessment credit free of tuition but may charge a reasonable fee for the prior learning assessment.

(4)

Repealed.
