S 3361 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Applies provisions of "New Jersey College Student and Parent Consumer Information Act" to proprietary schools and limits eligibility for State student assistance programs to students enrolled in certain proprietary schools.

This bill requires proprietary schools (private, for-profit institutions) to provide the same detailed consumer information to students as traditional colleges under New Jersey's existing "College Student and Parent Consumer Information Act." Schools must post on their websites annual reports including graduation rates by demographic and major, full cost of attendance, faculty composition, and student loan debt data - disaggregated by factors like race, income, and first-generation status. It also restricts eligibility for state student financial aid programs to students enrolled in specific proprietary schools meeting certain criteria. The bill directly affects proprietary schools by mandating transparency and state aid recipients by limiting program access.
