This bill aims to expand priority course registration at institutions of higher education in New Jersey to include student parents. Specifically, it grants priority registration to students who are residents of the state and are either parents or legal guardians of children under 18 years of age. The bill stipulates that this priority registration will follow the same procedures as those used for other groups currently receiving priority, such as student-athletes and students with disabilities.

Additionally, the bill mandates that institutions notify eligible students about their priority registration status before each academic semester's registration period. This initiative seeks to support student parents in managing their educational commitments alongside their parenting responsibilities, thereby enhancing their access to higher education opportunities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
