Information for Students Affected by Hurricane Milton

With Hurricane Milton making landfall, the University is offering accommodations to students affected by the storm.

To help assist our students affected by Milton, the University is offering the following accommodations:

  • Students who are directly impacted by the hurricane and who are currently registered in courses for the Nursing Session 2 July, August, September or October 2024 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 “Hurricane Milton” 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 July 2024 term can request a second eight-week extension on their current term at no additional cost.
  • The University will follow the New Jersey State Guidelines for U.S. military students residing in or deployed to the affected region.

Request an Accommodation: Students affected by the hurricane and flooding 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 Oct. 25. Requests after that date can be accommodated if the student provides documentation of the reason for the late request.

The Office of Professional Learning Review

The mission of the Office of Professional Learning Review (OPLR) is to expand access to higher education for adult learners by creating a pathway from workplace training and professional credentials to a college education.

OPLR assesses prior learning on a programmatic rather than individual basis by overseeing formal evaluations of courses, licenses, certifications, apprenticeships and exams offered by corporations, government agencies, labor unions and professional associations. These evaluations, known as Professional Learning Review (PLR), are performed by subject-matter experts who determine whether there is college-level learning equivalent to courses taught at regionally accredited institutions of higher education. Students who successfully complete an assessed course, training program or credential may then be awarded University course credit.

Find out how OPLR can help you take advantage of PLR credits for professional training and education.
