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 W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing and Health Professions provides students with innovative degree programs that meet the educational and career needs of students who want an alternative to traditional campus-based instruction.

The flexible, self-paced programs serve the educational needs of RNs, society's healthcare needs, and the nursing profession's need for a clinically competent and technologically adept workforce prepared to assume leadership positions in nursing.

In 2010, the School of Nursing was named in honor of W. Cary Edwards, a distinguished community leader and public servant. During his tenure as chief counsel to New Jersey Gov. Thomas H. Kean, Edwards was instrumental in securing the initial funding that made it possible to begin nursing education at Thomas Edison State University. In addition, he has a distinguished record of service to higher education and the state of New Jersey that includes serving as attorney general, chair of the State Commission on Investigation and a member of the New Jersey Assembly.
