Veterans and students can utilize GI Bill Benefits at Thomas Edison State College. Learn how ».
Temporary additional duty orders (TDY) can be issued to military students at any time. They are usually short, from 2 days to 6 months. In the event a student “goes TDY” they become exempt from course submission deadlines. TDY orders that do not cause a student to withdraw or request a course extension will be verified by the Office of Military and Veteran Education.
"Going dark" is a military term for the sudden unexpected termination of communication. This can happen at any military base, ship, or remote location. During this time, students will not have access to their courses and may miss submission deadlines. A military student undergoing an event of this type is exempt from late assignment penalties. This includes discussion forums and assignment submissions. Exceptions for this event will be verified by the Office of Military and Veteran Education. Students should work out a submission schedule with their course mentor to avoid additional late penalties.
Thomas Edison State University is a participating institution with the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (DoD MOU).

Financial Aid and Financial Planning Resources:
All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid, which can be used in conjunction with Tuition Assistance and Veterans Education Benefits.
Thomas Edison State University has established scholarships to recognize the service and sacrifice of U.S. Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard service members; their spouses; veterans; and wounded warriors.
These free resources can help you understand your financial cost and benefits available for attending Thomas Edison State University:
Thomas Edison State University provides a College Financing Plan (CFP) formerly known as Financial Aid Shopping Sheet to help you estimate the cost of attending Thomas Edison State University during the current Academic Year, and identify potential sources of financial aid so you can easily compare Thomas Edison State University with other institutions and make an informed decision about where to attend school. This tool is provided as part of Thomas Edison State University’s commitment to the Principles of Excellence under Presidential Executive Order 13607 and the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (DoD MOU).
Paying For College is a resource provided by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to explain the ins and outs of student financial aid and repaying loans to help you make smarter decisions about how to pay for school.
