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.

Returning Students

Welcome Back!

Many of our students take a break from their studies, and when the time is right, they jump back in. We are here to help make that process as easy as possible.

If it has been less than 3 years since you were enrolled in an undergraduate course at Thomas Edison State University, there is no need to complete a new application. If you remember your password, you can log into the myEdison Experience portal and use the "Online Student Services" card to access Online Student Services to register for your next course. If you do not remember your password to log into myEdison Experience, you can easily reset your password in Online Student Services and then proceed to myEdison Experience and register for a course.

If you have been away longer than three years, or were an applicant and never enrolled in a course, please complete our short application to get started. We will process your application within four days, and then you will be able to register for courses and enroll. This process places you in the most current catalog year and may adjust your degree plan requirements.

Regardless of how long you have been taking a break from your studies, previous transcripts received by the University are part of your permanent record, so you do not need to send them to us again. If you have earned new credits while taking a break from us, please reach out to the institution you attended and request your official transcripts to be sent to us.

Students who are members of graduate programs must re-apply after a one-year absence.
