Advisory regarding Southern California wildfires

On behalf of everyone at Thomas Edison State University, we hope that students affected by the wildfires in Southern California remain safe. The University is offering accommodations to students affected by the wildfires:

  • Students who are directly impacted by the fires and who are currently registered in courses for the November 2024, December 2024 and January 2025 terms have the option of receiving a free eight-week course extension without mentor approval; or, a 100% tuition credit for their course(s) to a future term. Affected students should submit a Request for Course Extension Form or a Request for Course Withdrawal Form indicating “Southern California wildfires” as the reason for the request. Please note that TECEP exams in these terms cannot be extended, nor credited for tuition after the exam has been taken.
  • Impacted students who are currently on a course extension for the September 2024 and October 2024 terms can request a second eight-week extension on their current term at no additional cost.

Request an Accommodation: Students affected by the wildfire and evacuations who need an accommodation should contact the Office of the Registrar by email at registration@tesu.edu or by phone at 609-777-5680. Accommodation requests should be submitted by January 24th. Requests after that date can be accommodated if the student provides documentation of the reason for the late request.

Thomas Edison State University (TESU) announced an expansion of its Corporate Rate Tuition Program, offering even more opportunities for individuals to pursue higher education. As part of the University’s continued commitment to fostering partnerships and supporting education, TESU is pleased to extend eligibility for the corporate rate tuition program to UPS retirees and their family members and JetBlue family members.

This expansion is a testament to TESU’s dedication to providing accessible, affordable and high-quality education to a wider range of learners. By opening doors to UPS retirees and JetBlue family members, the University is offering a unique opportunity for these individuals to further their education and enhance their career prospects. The University has a long history of working collaboratively with partners to develop educational programs that are aligned with the goals and strategic plans of an organization. Our corporate partners are among the most respected organizations in the public and private sectors.

Key Highlights of the Expansion

UPS retirees and their family members

UPS retirees, as well as their family members, will now have access to TESU’s corporate rate tuition program. This program provides a significant cost advantage for pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees, making higher education more attainable for all eligible individuals within the UPS retiree community.

JetBlue Family Members

TESU will extend eligibility for the corporate rate tuition program to family members of JetBlue employees. Unlike the JetBlue Scholars program, which is designed exclusively for JetBlue employees, this new offering is available to all family members of crew members at TESU’s non-Scholar special rate.

TESU’s corporate rate tuition program is designed to empower learners with the flexibility to earn a degree while balancing their work, family and other commitments. With a wide range of degree programs and dedicated support services, TESU is committed to helping individuals achieve their educational and career goals.

“We are excited to expand the eligibility of our corporate rate tuition program to include UPS retirees and JetBlue family members,” said Dr. Merodie A. Hancock, president of Thomas Edison State University. “At TESU, we believe that education should be accessible to all and these expanded partnerships reflect our commitment to making higher education a reality for a diverse range of learners.”
