Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Education to collect information each year on how colleges and universities treat Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) exam credits, and to post it on the College Scorecard website. The information would include whether each school gives degree credit for these exam scores, the maximum number of credits allowed, the minimum scores needed, and the type of credit given. The bill would also require colleges that take part in federal student aid programs to publish this same information in a prominent place on their own websites. Colleges would have to update the information as needed to keep it accurate and current.
