The core transfer library shall be developed in accordance with the following principles:

1. (1) Each course in the core transfer library must transfer in and apply toward meeting degree requirements in the same way as the receiving state educational institution's equivalent course.
2. (2) Courses in the core transfer library must draw from the liberal arts and introductory or foundational courses in technical, professional, and occupational fields that are part of the single articulation pathways established under IC 21-42-6-4 .
3. (3) At least seventy (70) courses must be identified for inclusion in the core transfer library. The identified courses must emphasize the courses most frequently taken by undergraduates.
4. (4) With respect to core transfer library courses being transferred from a state educational institution to Indiana University or Purdue University, Indiana University and Purdue University must identify transfer equivalents so that a course accepted by one
5. (1) regional campus is accepted by all other regional campuses that offer the same transfer equivalent course.
6. (5) Within the Indiana University system and Purdue University system, equivalent courses, including courses with the same course number and title, must count in the same way at all campuses within the system where the course is offered.
7. (6) A state educational institution shall award course credit for a satisfactory score (as defined in IC 20-36-1-4 ) on an advanced placement examination in which the advanced placement examination corresponds to the state educational institution's course in the core transfer library.
8. (7) With respect to course credit awarded by a state educational institution for a satisfactory score (as defined in IC 20-36-1-4 ) on an advanced placement examination that corresponds to the state educational institution's course on the core transfer library, a receiving state educational institution must transfer and apply course credit in alignment with the receiving state educational institution's corresponding course in the core transfer library or as elective credit if no corresponding course is offered in the core transfer library.
9. (8) A state educational institution shall award course credit for a score described in IC 20-36-6-6 (c) on a Cambridge International Advanced A or AS Level examination in which the Cambridge International examination corresponds to the state educational institution's course in the core transfer library.

10. (9) With respect to course credit awarded by a state educational institution for a score described in IC 20-36-6-6 (c) on a Cambridge International Advanced A or AS Level examination that corresponds to the state educational institution's course on the core transfer library, a receiving state educational institution must transfer and apply course credit in alignment with the receiving state educational institution's corresponding course in the core transfer library or as elective credit if no corresponding course is offered in the core transfer library.
