Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) In order to be eligible for enrollment in a course with a public institution of higher education under the tuition waiver program, an individual shall submit to the public institution of higher education documentation from a One-Stop Career Center verifying the following:

1. The individual's past presence in the labor market for at least two years;

2. The individual's unemployed status or his or her receipt of a layoff notice;

3. That the individual has received employment counseling at an One-Stop Career Center; and

4. That the One-Stop Career Center recommends enrollment in the particular job training course sought by the individual with the public institution of higher education under the tuition waiver program.

(b) Notwithstanding submission by the individual to the public institution of higher education of the documentation listed in (a) above, a public institution of higher education may refuse the individual's application for enrollment in a course under the tuition waiver program where:

1. The individual is eligible for any available State or Federal student financial aid, which would fully cover the individual's enrollment in the course;

2. Available classroom space does not permit the individual's enrollment in the course;

3. Tuition paying students do not constitute the minimum number required for the course; or

4. The individual has already paid tuition for the course.

(c) Where an individual has defaulted on a student financial aid loan and where that default is the sole reason that the individual is ineligible for State or Federal student financial aid, the public institution of higher education may refuse the individual's application for enrollment in a course under the tuition waiver program.

(d) An individual's eligibility for enrollment in a course with a public institution of higher education under the tuition waiver program shall depend upon the individual possessing the appropriate prerequisite skills for that course as determined by the public institution of higher education.

(e) If deemed necessary, an institution may allow an individual to register for courses pending receipt of One-Stop Career Center verification.

(f) Eligible individuals may seek to enroll in any New Jersey public institution of higher education regardless of their county of residence. However, charge-backs shall not apply for unemployed persons. Eligible individuals who wish to attend a county college must first apply to the county college within their county of residence.
