Texas SB3039 amends the Education Code to enhance transparency and streamline the transfer process for students in public higher education.

The bill requires general academic teaching institutions to report annually to the coordinating board and the legislature on courses for which academic credit is denied. It mandates public junior colleges to report on courses taken by students who transferred to a general academic teaching institution, completed a field of study curriculum, or earned an associate degree. The coordinating board must submit a report to the governor and relevant committees evaluating actions to increase the success and persistence of transfer students.
