Course Equivalency Sample Clauses
A Course Equivalency clause establishes the criteria and process for recognizing courses completed at one institution as equivalent to those offered at another. Typically, this involves a review of course content, credit hours, and learning outcomes to determine if a student's prior coursework meets the requirements of the receiving institution. For example, a student transferring from one university may have their introductory biology course evaluated to see if it fulfills the same requirement at their new school. The core function of this clause is to facilitate student mobility and ensure that academic progress is not unnecessarily delayed by redundant coursework.
Course Equivalency. The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the Higher Education Policy Commission and the Community and Technical College System shall create a committee of faculty content experts to create learning outcomes for course equivalencies. The committee will review course submissions in accordance with the 70% similar or the same statute. Each course will be resubmitted every five years for review by the committee of content experts. The committee will be responsible for publishing and disseminating a transfer guide which includes (1) the state coursework agreement and (2) the list of approved courses at each of the institutions. INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY Each institution shall have the responsibility of implementing the agreement and distributing the transfer guide to advisors, faculty advisors, and to students. Institutions shall be responsible for identifying each course listed in its course catalog that is also listed in this agreement.

As specified in West Virginia State Code, courses approved as a course equivalency and listed in bold with a carat (^) will count as a fulfillment of that particular requirement. Those courses in the Core Coursework Transfer Agreement and not listed in bold provides for uniform acceptance of up to 35 credit hours of general studies coursework.
