Advisory regarding Southern California wildfires

On behalf of everyone at Thomas Edison State University, we hope that students affected by the wildfires in Southern California remain safe. The University is offering accommodations to students affected by the wildfires:

  • Students who are directly impacted by the fires and who are currently registered in courses for the November 2024, December 2024 and January 2025 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 “Southern California wildfires” 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 September 2024 and October 2024 terms can request a second eight-week extension on their current term at no additional cost.

Request an Accommodation: Students affected by the wildfire and evacuations 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 January 24th. Requests after that date can be accommodated if the student provides documentation of the reason for the late request.

Welcome to Academic Advising

Academic advising is an important process that helps students take charge of their academic journeys.

Our advisors assist students with most aspects of their Thomas Edison State University experience, including reviewing their MyProgress degree plan, selecting courses and programs of study, interpreting University policies and preparing for graduation. We are dedicated to assisting our students in program planning and empowering them to make informed decisions during their degree pursuit.

The resources on this page provide students with information about the advising process, course registration, ways to earn credit and how to make an advising appointment. I encourage all students to visit this page periodically, as we plan to add additional resources for students in the coming months.

On behalf of our entire Office of Academic Advising team, I wish you success in your academic endeavors.

Sincerely,
Pamela A. DeMartino
Senior Director of Academic Advising and Student Success
