(Effective July 1, 2011) The Department of Higher Education, in consultation with the constituent units of state system of higher education, shall review the status and content of the public institution of higher education system transfer and articulation agreements. Such review shall consider: (1) The sufficiency of such agreements or transfer and articulation agreements modified or made on or after July 1, 2011, (A) to ensure appropriate credit transfer against degree requirements within each constituent unit, and (B) to ensure appropriate credit transfer against degree requirements across the constituents units and identify any disparities between the transfer of credits from the same or similar program from different colleges or universities of a constituent unit to a college or university of another constituent unit, (2) the status or completion of common course numbering within the community-technical college system, and (3) the establishment of a common passing score for any student placement test used within or across the constituents units. Not later than January 1, 2012, the Commissioner of Higher Education shall report the findings to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to higher education and workforce advancement in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes.
