Section 9A:11-2.9 - Part-time students

(a) The EOF Article III undergraduate grant award to part-time students provides EOF-eligible students with an opportunity to address personal, financial, and/or academic concerns that impede their ability to pursue a full-time course of study.

(b) Part-time grant eligibility shall be available only to EOF students attending those institutions approved by the Board to award part-time Article III undergraduate grants.

(c) Eligible students shall be advised by institutional EOF staff to pursue part-time enrollment and shall enroll for at least six credits, matriculate in a certificate or degree program, and maintain minimum standards of academic progress as determined by the institution in the context of the provisions of 9A:11-2.1 3. Eligibility for part-time grants shall be limited to:

1. Renewal students with at least one full-time semester of EOF Academic Year Article III grant funding; or

2. First-time, part-time entering students with no prior college experience.

(d) Each semester of part-time attendance for which an Article III part-time undergraduate grant is awarded shall count as one-half of a semester of grant eligibility. In no case shall a student receive such a grant for more than three semesters in pursuit of an associate degree or four semesters in pursuit of a baccalaureate degree.

(e) Institutions approved to award Article III part-time undergraduate grants shall not award such grants to more than 10 percent of their total EOF-funded population in any given semester.

(f) Renewal students enrolled in their last semester of study before graduation who can meet the requirements for their degree by registering as part-time are eligible to receive a semester maximum full-time EOF academic year Article III grant award, as long as the student's financial aid award package consisting of the New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant (TAG), scholarships, and other financial assistance does not exceed a student's cost of attendance.
