This bill mandates that each county college in New Jersey must notify graduating high school students of their acceptance into the college. Starting with the graduating class of the academic year following the enactment of the bill, county colleges are required to send a letter of acceptance to every graduating student in grade 12 who is a resident of the county and enrolled in a public or nonpublic school. The notification must be sent by December 1 and should include details on how to accept the offer, register for classes, apply for financial aid, and access student support services. Additionally, if the student has completed a financial aid application, the notification must include preliminary financial aid information, if available. The bill clarifies that this admission does not guarantee acceptance into specific majors or programs.

Furthermore, the New Jersey Council of County Colleges is tasked with establishing guidelines for identifying and notifying eligible students. The bill also requires the Council to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature, detailing the implementation of the acceptance letters, including data on the number of students offered admission, disaggregated by various demographics, and an assessment of the impact on enrollment among underserved populations. The bill emphasizes the importance of complying with privacy laws regarding the sharing of student contact information.
