Sec. 6. (a) Each student who enrolls in an advanced course may take the advanced placement examination to receive high school credit for the advanced course.

(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.
