Introduced Text

New Jersey S2618 mandates the revocation of a proprietary school's license to award academic degrees if it fails to meet specified graduation rates.

New Jersey S2618 requires the Secretary of Higher Education to revoke a proprietary school's license to award academic degrees if the school does not achieve a six-year graduation rate of at least 75 percent for full-time students in a four-year degree program or a three-year rate of at least 75 percent for those in a two-year program by the sixth academic year following the bill's enactment. If a school is not on track to meet these rates by the fifth year but is making sufficient progress, the Secretary may grant additional time.
