Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) Any licensed institution of secondary or higher education may submit any credit or non-credit course for approval as a component of the educational programs required by 5:10-1B.3. The application shall be in letter form, be submitted at least 60 days prior to the first class session of the course and contain all the information specified herein.

(b) Each application shall be submitted in the name of the institution by a person authorized to do so. It shall contain the minimum information:

1. The name of the course or program;

2. A description of the length of each session, the frequency of the sessions and the total number of sessions;

3. An outline showing the course or program content broken down by session;

4. A description of any text or materials to be used. The description shall identify whether the text or materials will be mandatory or suggested;

5. A description of the institution's standard for faculty members who will be employed to instruct the course or program;

6. An estimate of the program's duration (that is, the number of times it will be offered);

7. A statement that the institution will notify the Department if the program is withdrawn or changed at any time;

8. A statement that the institution will conduct the course or program in accordance with 5:10-1B.3 and will maintain such records as are therein required; and

9. A statement of such charges as the institution has established for the course or program.

(c) The Department reserves the right to undertake such reviews as may be necessary to verify the accuracy of an application or conformity with these rules. The institution, by submitting an application, expressly agrees to cooperate in such reviews.

(d) An institution may conduct a program which satisfies only a portion of the requirements established in 5:10-1B.3 or may establish a series of courses designed to fulfill all the requirements for the educational program of that article.

(e) Upon verification that the program or course will satisfy some or all of the educational program requirements, the Department shall:

1. Issue a letter of approval to the institution which letter shall contain any terms or conditions of such approval; and

2. Place the name of the institution and the course on the Department's list of approved courses. That list shall be made available to the public.
i. Any approval shall be limited in that it is effective only as long as the course conforms to the application submitted and approved.

(f) Whenever a course or program has been approved by the Department, the institution offering the course may include the following statement: "This course is approved for credit toward a license issued by the Department of Community Affairs pursuant to the Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law" in any catalog, bulletin or informational circulars. Whenever such a statement is included, however, the catalog, bulletin or circular shall also contain a statement describing precisely the nature and extent of the approval.

(g) The Department may revoke its approval, after notice and the opportunity to be heard, whenever it ascertains that a course has lapsed or is no longer in conformity with the requirements of these rules, and/or the terms of the Department's approval. Whenever approval has been revoked or a course has been withdrawn by an institution, a new application and approval shall be required before the course may again be offered as providing credit toward a license.

(h) An applicant for licensure as a housing code official or inspector of hotels and multiple dwellings who seeks to obtain credit for a course that he or she has taken that was not previously approved by the Department shall submit to the Department a copy of the course curriculum and such other information as the Department may require in order to determine if the course satisfies the applicable requirements set forth in 5:10-1B.3.
