S 3272 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires institutions of higher education to provide greater assistance to certain students with military obligations.

This bill requires New Jersey public and independent colleges to provide specific academic support to students serving in the National Guard, Reserves, or active duty. It mandates schools to offer accommodations for missed classes (like lecture notes, tutoring, and five days to complete work), establish written contracts between students and professors about academic obligations, and accept up to 30 college credits for military training via the American Council on Education. Students must notify professors of military duties early, and schools must display these rights on their websites. Violations will be enforced by the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
