Bill > S3976

This bill proposes to require institutions of higher education in New Jersey to grant priority course registration to undergraduate student parents who meet specific criteria. To be eligible, a student must be the parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 years old and must be a resident of New Jersey. The bill mandates that these student parents will be granted priority registration using the same procedures already in place for other groups who currently receive priority registration at the institution. Additionally, the bill requires that before each academic semester, the educational institution must notify potentially eligible students about this priority registration option. The purpose of the bill appears to be supporting student parents by giving them an earlier opportunity to register for courses, which could help them better manage their academic schedules alongside their parenting responsibilities. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
