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.

Corporate Choice Program

The Corporate Choice Program at Thomas Edison State University focuses on developing partnerships that enable organizations to develop their human capital and enhance staff development, recruitment and retention programs.

The University works with its partners to deliver high-quality degree and certificate programs to employees and to evaluate professional training programs and credentials to determine if it is equivalent to a college course and can be applied to an academic program.

These partnerships provide opportunities for staff to develop and acquire expertise and proficiency in areas directly applicable to their careers.

We are proud to partner with some of the largest organizations within all sectors of business to provide access to affordable, attainable education for their employees. With the University offering degrees in more than 100 areas of study ranging from associate to doctoral degrees, there are many ways that the University is able to cater to the needs of any organization or corporation’s busy workforce needs.

Organizations who invest in their most important asset, their people, do so because they care.

Talented employees look for how a company or new job can improve their quality of life, which often goes beyond simply a salary and health benefits. Offering programs that enable your employees to advance their careers and improve their lives is a critical strategy for recruiting the brightest candidates and retaining the most promising employees.
