Workforce NJ

Policy

Under the direction of the Dean's Office, the staff will assure that the procedure for the Workforce NJ - Unemployed Person Job Training Program is systematically evaluated and administered. Only those programs/courses in which enrollment space is determined by SN to be available and in which tuition paying students constitute the minimum number required for the program/course shall be open to eligible Workforce NJ applicants.

Procedure

The procedure is divided into three categories of students based on differences in admission and/or registration: full-time matriculated students, part-time matriculated students and non-matriculated students.

Full-time Matriculated Students

• Tuition waiver student will apply in the same manner as all other students and will be granted or denied the offer of admission with other students
• The offer letter will include a statement. requesting that applicants indicate if they are applying for a tuition waiver under the Workforce NJ Job Training Program. Accepted workforce tuition waiver students must inform the Office of Student Affairs in writing of their intent to pursue the Workforce NJ Job Training Program no later than the deposit due date specified in the offer letter. The accepted workforce tuition waiver student will not be required to submit a deposit and cannot register before the SN determines if the program or course is at full enrollment.
• Accepted workforce tuition waiver students who do not inform the Office of Student Affairs by the deposit due date that they will be a workforce student, must pay full tuition. This status may not change after enrollment in the program.
• Workforce tuition waiver students must submit in writing to the Office of Student Affairs their intent to pursue the Workforce Development Training Program by the deposit due date as specified in the offer letter, and must submit an approved Workforce Development form prior to the first day of class.
• Workforce tuition waiver students must show proof of a completed financial aid application prior to registration.
• Workforce tuition waiver students will be informed on the first day of class whether they can register for the program or course. Tuition waiver students cannot defer their admission to another semester.
• All workforce tuition waiver students must re-apply to the Workforce Development Office each semester to receive a tuition waiver. Each academic year they must re-apply for financial aid and must submit a complete financial aid application prior to the start of the semester.

Part-time Matriculated Students

• Same as above for full-time students except:
• Tuition waiver students must submit a registration form for selected courses at least ten days before the start of class, but will not be permitted to register. Registration through the web for student system will not be allowed.
• Tuition waiver students will be informed if they may take the class by the second course meeting day after registration closes for the paid students.
• If the number of Workforce Tuition Waiver students requesting an individual course exceeds the course's available enrollment, registration will be conducted on a "first come, first served" basis, by date of the applicant's request and a completed financial application.
• Matriculated students who become unemployed after being enrolled in a SN program or course will not be eligible for the workforce development training program at SN.

Non-Matriculated Students

• Tuition waiver students must submit all completed forms and selected course registration forms at least ten days before the start of class. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid, and are therefore not required to complete financial aid applications.
• Tuition waiver students will be informed if they can register by the second course meeting day after registration closes for paid students.
• Priority will be given to matriculated students, paying non-matriculated students and followed by the Workforce Development Training Program matriculated and non-matriculated students based on the date of request and completed information.

Instructions for Workforce NJ Job Training Program Students

Matriculated Students

Admission: Tuition waiver students must apply for admission and be accepted into a program or course at SN. The offer of admission packet will specify a deposit due date, which will require students pursuing workforce training to submit a letter informing the Office of Student Affairs in lieu of a tuition deposit. The letter should state that the student is pursuing workforce development training and will obtain a waiver form from the state agency administering Workforce Development Training Program before the start of registration. (No extension will be granted for the tuition deposit due date). Students who send a tuition deposit, or who do not submit a letter of intent to pursue workforce training by the deposit due date, must pay fall tuition.

Registration: Tuition waiver students must show proof of a completed financial aid application prior to registration. The Financial Aid Office determines if the application is complete. Therefore, tuition waiver students should work closely with the Financial Aid Office to ensure all documentation is submitted to complete the application. Tuition waiver students cannot register for the program or course until SN determines if the program or course is at full enrollment, which will generally occur on the first day of class.

Tuition waiver students must submit their registration form selecting classes at least ten days before the start of class. Tuition waiver students who do not submit their registration fform in that time frame will not be allowed to enroll in the class. Students will be informed by the second class meeting if they are eligible to enroll in the class.

Tuition waiver students, are required to re-apply to the state Workforce Development Office each semester to obtain tuition waiver prior to registration and re-apply for financial aid annually. Tuition waiver students are responsible for all fees.

Non Matriculated Students

Tuition waiver students must submit an approved tuition waiver form, obtained from the state agency administering Workforce Development Training Program, submit a registration form for the selected courses, and pay all fees for those courses at least ten days before the start of class. Tuition waiver students will be informed by the second class meeting if they can register for the class as a Workforce Development student. Fees will be refunded if the class is not available.
