Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
Section 9A:11-4.5 - Recruitment and admissions(a) The institution, through its admissions and EOF staff, has the primary responsibility for recruiting EOF students. The staff shall have the requisite skills and information to convey accurately the goals and objectives of the institutional EOF program. EOF staff shall assist in identifying, interviewing, and selecting prospective program participants, but the institution is accountable for the recruitment yield on an annual basis.(b) Each participating institution shall establish an annual goal within its program goals and objectives as set forth in N.J.A.C. 9A:11-4.2(a)2 to enroll a percentage of its entering fall full-time first-time undergraduates through the EOF program. The EOF fall full-time first-time undergraduate goal shall be based on the institutions' resources from all sources and the current demographic profile of its full-time undergraduate students. Participating institutions are encouraged to establish a goal of at least 10 percent. Each institution shall declare their EOF fall full-time first-time undergraduate goal in their annual fiscal year EOF contract. The percentage shall be calculated from the number of EOF full-time first-time undergraduates in a given fall semester and the number of full-time first-time New Jersey resident undergraduates in the previous fall's full-time first-time undergraduate class. Students who are counseled at entrance to pursue a part-time courseload and receive an Article III part-time student grant shall be counted in calculating an institution's EOF fall full-time first-time undergraduate percentage goal.(c) Each participating institution shall annually develop and implement a plan to recruit, identify, and select potential students for the EOF program. This process/procedure shall be subject to audit by EOF Central Office staff at any time. The plan shall focus primarily on identifying a significant pool of potential students who meet the student eligibility criteria in N.J.A.C. 9A:11-2.2 and the financial eligibility criteria defined in N.J.A.C. 9A:11-2.3. The plan also shall establish a priority selection process that includes a waiting list, as well as appeal procedures for EOF first-year students, transfer, and readmit applicants.(d) The campus EOF administrator/director shall make the final determination on the awarding of Article III undergraduate student grant funds to students initially admitted to the institution's EOF program who withdrew or were academically dismissed or suspended but are subsequently readmitted to the institution.N.J.
