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.

Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee

  • In-state or out-of-state associate/bachelor's: $3,354

All Fees are Nonrefundable

NOTE: The Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee applies to students who have not earned at least 15 semester hours from the University’s online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack (EP) courses toward their associate or bachelor’s degree, or to students who have not earned at least 50% of their credits for their certificate from TESU.

If a student pays either residency waiver fee or does not graduate within 15 months, they will be required to pay additional Credit Hour Residency Waiver fees.

Students who successfully graduate from their first associate degree at TESU and pay the waiver will have been deemed to meet the University’s Credit Hour Residency requirement for both the completed associate degree and their first bachelor’s degree should they pursue one at TESU. The certificate residency fee may be applied toward the first associate/bachelor's residency fee if the student completes their degree at TESU.

Students will be responsible for any increase in Credit Hour Residency fees if the fee paid for the associate degree is less than the current fee at the time the student applies for graduation for their first bachelor’s degree.

Students with questions about the Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee are encouraged to speak with their TESU advisor.
