Permits eligible high school students to take certain courses at county college.

This bill (S 799) allows high school students aged 16 or older in 12th grade to enroll in career certificate program courses at New Jersey county colleges, provided they are state residents, maintain good academic standing, and have principal approval. It removes the requirement for students to hold a State-endorsed diploma or have passed the GED to take these courses. County colleges must permit enrollment if space is available but are not required to waive existing course prerequisites or application procedures. The bill directly affects eligible high school students seeking career-focused college credits.
