(a)Students who have completed a course of study outside the state, which has not been approved by the department, may request to have such course count as credit toward their education requirement. To receive credit a student must submit the following:
(1)an official school transcript showing satisfactory completion of equivalent education;
(2)an official school description of the courses completed; and
(3)such other information as the department may require.
(b)No student shall be given credit for out-of-state education, unless the department finds that such course or courses covered substantially the same subject matter, and equaled or exceed the standards as required by this Part. Students may not be given partial credit for any out-of-state education.
