 (b) If a student successfully completes a field of study curriculum developed by the Board, that block of courses [may be transferred to a general academic teaching institution and] must be substituted in transfer to a general academic teaching institution for that institution's lower-division requirements for the degree program for the field of study into which the student transfers, and the student must [shall] receive full academic credit toward the degree program for the block of courses transferred.

 (c) A student who transfers from one institution of higher education to another without completing the field of study curriculum of the sending institution must [shall] receive academic credit in the field of study curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the courses that the student has successfully completed in the field of study curriculum of the sending institution. Following receipt of credit for these courses, the student may be required to satisfy the remaining course requirements in the field of study curriculum of the receiving institution, or to complete additional requirements in the receiving institution's program, as long as those requirements do not duplicate course content already completed through the field of study curriculum.
