An Act relative to college in high school

This bill requires public colleges in Massachusetts to create clear policies on how they award credit for high school programs like Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, and college-in-high-school courses. It mandates that these institutions publish their credit-granting rules online and report them to the state Department of Higher Education, while also ensuring applicants receive advance notice about how their coursework will be credited toward a degree. Additionally, the legislation establishes a new state trust fund to support these programs, with a focus on helping underserved communities and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
