§ 23-5-122 — Intrainstitutional and intrasystem transfers - course scheduling

(1) On or before October 1, 1993, the governing board of every state-supported
institution of higher education shall have in place and enforce policies regarding
transfers by students between undergraduate degree programs which are offered
within the same institution or within the same institutional system. Such policies
shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following provisions:

(a) If, not more than ten years prior to transferring into an undergraduate
degree program, a student earns credit hours which are required for graduation
from such undergraduate degree program, such credit hours shall apply to the
completion of such student's graduation requirements from such undergraduate
degree program following such transfer;

(b) A student who transfers into an undergraduate degree program shall not
be required to complete a greater number of credit hours in those courses which
are required for graduation from such undergraduate degree program than are
required of students who began in such undergraduate degree program, nor shall
there be any minimum number of credit hours required post-transfer other than the
normal degree requirements for nontransferring students; and

(c) The grade point average which is required for a student to apply for and
be fully considered for transfer into an undergraduate degree program shall be no
higher than that which is required for graduation from such undergraduate degree
program.
