PARAMUS, N.J. – Registration for spring and winter 2019 classes at Bergen Community College will open online Wednesday, Oct. 31 – including for students planning to take advantage of the state’s tuition-free college initiative, the Community College Opportunity Grant. In-person registration begins at the main campus at 400 Paramus Road Wednesday, Nov. 7.
The grant initiative, announced by Gov. Phil Murphy Sept. 27, will provide a tuition-free college experience for students with household incomes of less than $45,000. State officials selected Bergen as one of 13 community colleges awarded $20 million for the spring 2019 pilot program. As a “last dollar” initiative, the program will cover all remaining tuition and fees for students taking six or more credits after any other federal or state grants are applied to their tuition bills.
