Provides that a community college student who has earned the associate degree need not pay the full cost for a maximum of 24 hours taken while enrolled at a community college which apply to the student's baccalaureate degree. Provides that an undergraduate student at a state university or in a baccalaurate program at a community college must pay the higher rate for exceeding the aforementioned credit hour limit, regardless of whether those hours were taken while enrolled at a community college, a state university or any private postsecondary institution if the student received state funds while enrolled at the private postsecondary institution.
States that credit hours earned under the following circumstances are not calculated as hours required to earn a degree:
(a) College credits earned through an accelerated mechanism identified in s. 1007.27;
(b) Credit hours earned through internship programs;
(c) Credit hours required for certification, recertification, or certificate degrees;

Community College | AN ACT relating higher education; requiring the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada to ensure that students enrolled in a program for the education of teachers are instructed in the academic standards required for high school pupils; requiring access to library facilities for students enrolled at an institution within the University and Community College System of Nevada; specifying that a student at a university or state college within the System completes a full course of study for the issuance of a diploma of graduation from the System if he satisfies the requirements for graduation and a degree as set forth in the catalog of the university or state college that is in effect at the time of enrollment or at the time of graduation, whichever the student elects; revising the terms of office of members of the Board of Regents; revising provisions regarding the degrees and transferability of credits earned within the System; and providing other matters properly relating thereto. Legislative Counsel's Digest: Existing law provides for the establishment of courses of study and academic standards for the public schools in this State. (Chapter 389 of NRS) This bill requires the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada to work with the State Board of Education and the Council to Establish Academic Standards for Public Schools to ensure that students enrolled in a program for the education of teachers are provided instruction in the standards for high school pupils. Existing law sets forth the requirements for issuance of a baccalaureate degree by the Board of Regents. (NRS 396.560) This bill specifies the manner in which a student is determined to have completed a full course of study for the issuance of a diploma of graduation from the System. Existing law prescribes 6-year terms of office for the members of the Board of Regents. (NRS 396.040) This bill reduces the terms of office to years. The current members elected will continue to serve out their 6-year terms of office. This provision becomes effective only if AJR 11 of the 72nd Session of the Nevada Legislature is not passed by the 73rd Session of the Legislature. Existing law requires that all credits earned at a community college within the System be transferable to a university or state college within the System if the course catalog identifies the course by the same title and description. (NRS 396.568) This bill requires that all courses earned at a community college within the System automatically transfer to a university or state college within the System and removes the requirements regarding the course catalog. This bill also provides that a student who has been awarded an associate's degree must be enrolled as a junior if he enrolls in any institution within the System. This bill further provides that a student enrolled at any campus of the System must be granted access to library facilities available within the System and must be adequately informed of those facil

The bill also directs the degree length to include minors, double majors, certificates, special programs, and study-abroad programs. The bill only applies to those students who initially enroll as an undergraduate student in the Fall 2006. Creates a work-study student mentorship program at certain institutions of higher education.

Community College | Establishes the Arizona partnership for nursing education demonstration project to increase the capacity of nursing education programs in the state by fostering collaboration among the state's education and health care communities and the state and federal governments. Requires the demonstration project to address the state's nursing shortage by increasing the number of nurses graduating from the state's nursing education programs with the goal of doubling the number of nursing graduates by the end of fiscal year 2009-2010 from the number graduating in fiscal year 2004-2005.
Establishes the nursing education demonstration project fund and appropriates monies to this fund. States that the fund consists of monies appropriated to the fund and monies provided by any federal agency, entity or program for nursing education and workforce expansion, and that monies in the fund are exempt from the provisions of section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to lapsing of appropriations. Requires monies in the nursing education demonstration project fund to be used:
1. To pay for salaries, benefits, training and related expenses and operational costs necessary to increase the number of qualified nursing
education faculty members teaching in nursing degree programs operated or overseen by the Arizona board of regents or by community college districts.
2. To pay for certain expenses only for additional nursing education faculty members based on the number of faculty members who provide this education on June 30, 2005.
3. To supplement and not supplant monies that are appropriated by the legislature for the fiscal years 2005-2006 through 2009-2010 by funding the number of nursing education faculty members who provide this education in fiscal year 2004-2005.
Requires fund monies to be distributed in a manner designed to increase the number of nurses graduating from universities and community colleges by increasing available faculty and teaching resources in a manner that provides for the efficient use of available monies and shared
resources, geographic distribution of nurses in this state and increased diversity in the nursing workforce. Allows the distribution systems to include grant programs that provide monies to universities and community colleges after submission of grant proposals.

Provides that a student may elect to sign this course of study or to sign a written waiver that clearly outlines the student's rights to obtain a bachelor's degree in eight semesters and verifies that the student chooses to not enter into the commitment. Provides that a student will be guaranteed a bachelor's degree at the end of the eight semesters if the student signs the recommended course sequence schedule and meets other requirements. Requires universities to offer courses in a time, sequence, and manner that will enable students to complete requirements for a degree within the time frame set out in the recommended course sequence schedule.

"The Legislature agrees with the State Board of Education that achieving funding equity among Idaho's four year institutions of higher education is an important goal. The Legislature therefore directs the State Board of Education to complete that process within existing and future appropriations to achieve the base instructional equity and the science and technology adjustment that form the basis of funding equity."
Establishes legislative intent to determine how many credit hours per faculty member are spent in teaching, service and research. Requires the State Board of Education, in cooperation with the Division of Financial Management and the Legislative Services Office, to develop a standardized system for reporting meaningful data about faculty member workload and productivity at the state's four four-year institutions of higher education. Mandates that such reports include the number of faculty by classification, whether tenured, tenure track or adjunct; the number of credit hours taught by faculty member by department, the number of service hours and the number of research hours by faculty member by department.
Requires the state board to continue to maintain a standardized system for tracking and reporting meaningful data about faculty, nonfaculty exempt, and classified staff turnover at the state's institutions of higher education.
