N.J. Admin. Code § 12:23-3.8

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 12, June 17, 2024

Section 12:23-3.8 - Approved training costs

(a) Training grant monies shall be applied only to training-related costs.

(b) WDP grant monies shall be expended only on books, supplies and/or equipment which have been specifically identified by the institution as a requirement for successfully completing a course or training program.

(c) Application fees and other fees, which are assessed on all tuition-paying students, may be paid under the WDP grant program. These acceptable fees related to a training program include library fees, lab fees, computer lab fees, and test fees.

(d) Charges (such as room and board and parking fees) that are not assessed on all students are not eligible training-related fees and shall not be paid under the WDP grant program. Fees that are dedicated to self-sustaining funds separate from the fund for academic programs shall not be paid under the grant program and are the responsibility of the trainee (student).

(e) The individual shall be responsible for paying the difference in training costs when the individual selects a training program with a training vendor that is more expensive than a comparable (that is, of the same content and quality) training program offered by another training vendor or local community college.

1. The trainee shall be responsible for the difference in training costs if the trainee elects to attend as a non-county resident without good cause when the local county college offers a training program equal in quality and content. As used in this subsection, "good cause" includes those factors, such as travel distance, which the job counselor determines shall help the individual satisfactorily complete the approved employability plan.

2. A WDP grant shall cover the full tuition costs for out-of-county residents, up to the maximum limits, if the qualified job counselor determines that the training program is substantially better in quality and content.

3. Training may be approved for an out-of-county college when there is a delay in course start dates of more than four weeks.
