Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s public colleges and universities to create a policy allowing students to withdraw from courses due to extenuating circumstances and receive a tuition refund. The policy must define ‘extenuating circumstance’ (including illness, injury, and mental health issues), establish criteria for determining if a student’s ability to learn has been impacted, and outline refund amounts for room, board, and fees. Any refunds to students receiving financial aid will follow existing state and federal guidelines.
