(b) Any rule adopted by the department concerning an Indiana diploma with a Core 40 with academic honors designation must provide that a successfully completed mathematics or science advanced course is credited toward fulfilling the requirements of an Indiana diploma with a Core 40 with academic honors designation.

(c) If a student who takes an advanced placement examination receives a satisfactory score on the examination, the student is entitled to receive:

(1) a certificate of achievement; and

(2) postsecondary level academic credit at a state educational institution that counts toward meeting the student's degree requirements, if elective credit is part of the student's degree requirement. The state educational institution may require a score higher than 3 on an advanced placement test if the credit is to be used for meeting a course requirement for a particular major at the state educational institution.
