Requires undergraduate students to file degree plan and requires institutions of higher education and certain proprietary institutions to develop pathway systems to graduation.

This bill requires undergraduate students at New Jersey colleges and universities to file a formal course plan (degree plan) by specific credit milestones: 60 credits for four-year schools, 30 credits for community colleges or private colleges. Institutions must develop "pathway systems" with graduation benchmarks, including requiring first-year students to take credit-bearing math and English courses within their first 24 credits. It also mandates that students in remedial courses take the corresponding credit-bearing course immediately after completing remediation. These requirements apply to all degree-seeking students, with institutions required to notify students when changing majors or academic plans.
