Overview
This bill aims to limit restrictions on transcript releases at higher education and certain proprietary institutions in New Jersey. Specifically, it prohibits institutions from refusing to provide transcripts, conditioning their release on payment of debts (except for transcript fees), charging higher fees, or using transcript issuance for debt collection, unless the student’s credits were paid for with federal student aid. It applies primarily to students whose credits were funded by federal or state student aid programs. The bill also addresses situations where students need transcripts for loan applications and outlines procedures for third-party transcript transmission.
