Lets colleges share student records to help them get degrees they've earned.
This bill would make it easier for students to get college degrees or certificates they've earned. It would let colleges share a student's past course records with another school, but only if the student gives written permission. This change aims to help students who have earned enough credits for a credential but haven't officially received it yet.
Today, federal law does not specifically allow colleges to share a student's education records with a previously attended school to help them earn a degree or certificate, even with the student's permission. If this bill becomes law, colleges would be allowed to share these records for that specific purpose, as long as the student provides written consent before receiving the credential.
