S 3360 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires proprietary degree-granting institutions to disclose status as for-profit business; requires institution of higher education and proprietary degree-granting institution to disclose accreditation status.

New Jersey's S 3360 requires for-profit colleges to clearly disclose their for-profit status in large, visible text on all public materials - including websites, brochures, and course catalogs - starting from the law's effective date. It also mandates all colleges (both public and private institutions of higher education) to prominently display their accreditation status from U.S. Department of Education-recognized agencies in the same manner. The disclosure must be larger than surrounding text (except the institution's name) and placed to attract reader attention. This applies to all promotional materials, contracts, and official documents created after the bill takes effect, with additional requirements if unaccredited agencies are referenced.
