Commissioner of Higher Education, in consultation with the Higher Education Coordinating Council established in section 10a-6a, shall establish a State-wide Advisory
Council on Student Transfer and Articulation to maximize the transferability of course
credits. The advisory council shall consider (1) core courses, to be approved by the
boards of trustees of all public institutions of higher education, for which a student may
transfer credit toward major courses of study or degree and other completion requirements at any institution within the state system of higher education, (2) student transfer
and articulation agreements for approval by the boards of trustees of each constituent
unit of the state system of higher education, (3) procedures to improve the availability
of information and student counseling with respect to student transfer and articulation,
including access to a shared automated information system and (4) procedures to resolve
constituent unit to constituent unit and institution to institution student transfer and
articulation disputes. The advisory council shall consist of the chief academic officers
of each constituent unit, or their designees, teaching faculty and students of public institutions of higher education and the institutional transfer coordinators of each public
institution of higher education. In addition, the advisory council shall include, as nonvoting ex-officio members, two representatives of independent institutions of higher education appointed by the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges, at least one
of whom shall be a campus administrator responsible for student transfer and articulation. The Commissioner of Higher Education, or his designee, shall convene and serve
as chairperson of the advisory council.
(b) On or before January 1, 1996, and annually on or before January first thereafter,
the State-wide Advisory Council on Student Transfer and Articulation shall report, in
accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a, concerning its activities to the Governor
and the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters
relating to education.
