New York State University system to offer college credits to students based on regents exam scores.

This bill amends the education law to allow the State University of New York and the City University of New York to offer college credits to prospective students based on their performance on the regents examinations. Students must attain a regents diploma and achieve specific average scores on the exams to receive credits. Each university determines which general education coursework the credits may apply to, in consultation with the student. The bill does not make any regents exam mandatory starting in the 2027-2028 school year.
