Directs Secretary of Higher Education to establish common course numbering system for public institutions of higher education.
This bill requires New Jersey's public colleges and universities to adopt a standardized system for numbering general education courses (like math or writing classes needed for associate or bachelor's degrees). The Secretary of Higher Education and college leaders must create and implement this system by September 1 of the first full academic year after the bill takes effect. Independent colleges in New Jersey can choose to join the system voluntarily, but public institutions must participate. The goal is to simplify course transfers between public schools by using consistent course codes.
