A 3424 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Grants priority course registration to certain student parents attending institutions of higher education.

New Jersey's bill A3424 requires colleges that already offer priority course registration to extend this benefit to student parents who are New Jersey residents and parents or legal guardians of children under 18. It directly affects student parents attending participating institutions of higher education by adding them to existing priority registration groups (like student-athletes or veterans). The bill mandates institutions to use their current priority registration procedures for eligible student parents and to notify them before each semester's registration period. This policy change expands existing institutional practices without creating new priority systems.
