Section 388H.050 - Transfer of incarcerated person to another facility or institution within State; credit for successful completion of course
1. If an incarcerated person who has earned credits in a program of education is transferred to another facility or institution within this State, all credits earned by that incarcerated person must be transferred to another program of education operated within the facility or institution to which the incarcerated person is transferred if the requirements of this section are satisfied.
2. An incarcerated person who is participating in a program of education and who is transferred from a facility or institution to another facility or institution shall:
(a) Notify the educational personnel who operate the program of education at the facility or institution in which the person is currently incarcerated of his or her pending transfer; and
(b) Return all textbooks and other school property to that facility or institution.
3. An incarcerated person who is participating in a program of education and who is transferred from a facility or institution to another facility or institution in this State shall, if he or she desires to participate in a program of education at the facility or institution to which he or she is transferred, notify the educational department at that facility or institution as soon as possible of his or her previous participation in a program of education. An incarcerated person may satisfy the notice required by this subsection by appearing in person or by submitting an inmate request form DOC-2049. Upon receipt of such notice, the educational personnel at the facility or institution to which the incarcerated person was transferred shall request the class records and schedules for the incarcerated person from the facility or institution in which the person was previously incarcerated. To the extent practicable, the incarcerated person must be placed in classes that are comparable to the classes which he or she was previously attending so that the incarcerated person may continue his or her course of study with minimal disruption.
4. If a facility or institution receives a request for records for an incarcerated person pursuant to subsection 3, the educational personnel of the program of education at the facility or institution in which that person was previously incarcerated shall make available to the facility or institution to which the incarcerated person was transferred the appropriate educational records of the incarcerated person, including, without limitation, enrollment in courses, status of completion of competency for each course, grades received and credit awarded. Such information must be made available within a reasonable time to allow continuity of the educational program for the incarcerated person.
5. Upon successful completion of a course by an incarcerated person in a program of education, the facility or institution in which the person is incarcerated shall credit those courses to his or her transcript.
