Requires county college to notify graduating high school students of acceptance into local county college.
This bill requires New Jersey county colleges to automatically notify graduating high school students in their county of acceptance into the college. The notification, sent by December 1, must include instructions on how to enroll, register for classes, and apply for financial aid without requiring a separate application or fee. While the offer guarantees admission to the college, it does not ensure placement in a specific major or specialized program. The legislation also mandates that the New Jersey Council of County Colleges submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on the program's implementation and impact.
