S 2711 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits public institution of higher education from increasing resident undergraduate tuition for four continuous academic years following student's initial enrollment.

S 2711 prohibits New Jersey public colleges and universities from raising tuition for resident undergraduate students during their first four consecutive academic years of enrollment. The law directly affects in-state students who begin their studies at a public four-year institution, locking in their tuition rate for four years (or longer for programs requiring more than four years to complete). Key provisions require institutions to maintain the initial tuition rate for eligible students throughout this period, regardless of future cost increases. This policy creates immediate financial predictability for students and families during the core undergraduate years.
