Requires institutions of higher education and proprietary degree-granting institutions that have agreements with online program managers to disclose online program information.
This bill requires New Jersey colleges and universities (including private degree-granting institutions) that partner with online program managers (OPMs) to publicly disclose specific information about their online programs on their websites. Institutions must share the OPM's name, admission requirements, online program tuition compared to on-campus costs, available financial aid, average financial aid amounts, and the percentage of students receiving aid. These disclosures aim to give prospective students clear, comparable information to make informed decisions about online education options. The bill directly affects students and institutions involved in OPM partnerships, with no changes to program content or funding mechanisms.
