Mechanism
A state board rule, such as Florida 6A-10.024, makes the completed 36-credit general education block transfer whole. No course-by-course syllabus review, no quiet credit loss.
Preconditions
Agreement across the public systems on general education learning outcomes.
Owner, by role
State Board of Education Chair / Higher Education Chancellor
Who can act
System, state or accreditor
Effort
Large, 12 to 18 months to first visible effect
Outcome metric
General education credits accepted and applied to bachelor's degrees
Failure modes
Individual registrars can undermine rules by manually evaluating and rejecting specific courses within the block.
Contra-indications
Professional majors with highly rigid, accreditor-mandated math and science sequences may require exceptions.
