Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024
(1) Not
later than December 31 of the year the Commission determines a CAP shall be

(2) The Subcommittee appointed by the Council
shall develop the CAP, which must:
(a)
Identify an approved Core Transfer Map that makes up a portion of CAP
coursework requirements.
(b) Enable
a student to transfer from a community college to a public university listed in
ORS 352.002 without the loss of
academic credit or the requirement to retake a course at a public university
that the student has successfully completed at a community college, provided
that the grade in each course that is transferred meets the degree requirements
established by the CAP;
(c) Contain
provisions that identify the optimal number of academic credits, including
credits in the major course of study, that the student should have when the
student transfers from a community college to a public university listed in ORS
352.002 in order for the student
to efficiently receive a bachelor's degree;
(d) Define the classes and completion
standards for the optimal number of academic credits identified in subsection
(c) of this section that may be taken at a community college;
(e) Except as provided in subsection (f) of
this section, ensure that if a student at a community college has completed 90
academic credits of coursework in conformity with the completion standards
identified in subsection (d) of this section and transfers to a public
university listed in ORS
352.002, the student will:
(A) Receive junior status in the major course
of study at the public university; and
(B) Be able to receive a bachelor's degree in
the major course of study by completing the additional academic credits
identified in the CAP after transferring, based on the total number of academic
credits and standards approved by the accrediting body for the public
university;
(f) For CAPs
that in subsection (c) of this section identify an optimal number of academic
credits to transfer other than 90, ensure that if a student at a community
college has completed the identified number of academic credits of coursework
in conformity with the completion standards identified in subsection (d) of
this section and transfers to a public university listed in ORS
352.002, the student will:
(A) Receive status at the public university,
based on the number of academic credits referenced in the CAP, that is

in the major course of study who began their post-secondary studies at the
public university; and
(B) Be able
to receive a bachelor's degree in the major course of study by completing the
additional academic credits identified in the CAP after transferring, based on

possible, of lower-division requirements in the major courses of
study.
(3) The
subcommittee shall, by a vote of the majority of voting members, submit a CAP
