Graduate Registration Guidelines

The first step to registering for a graduate course is accepting the student agreement in Online Student Services (OSS) and selecting a graduate course. All graduate courses are offered online. View all graduate courses.

Many graduate programs at Thomas Edison State University require students to complete courses sequentially. If you need help determining which graduate course you should take, contact an academic advisor.

Graduate registration terms are offered six times each year. Students must register for graduate courses during scheduled registration sessions. To view registration sessions for all graduate programs, view the Graduate Academic Calendar.

Students can register online for their graduate courses. If you are paying via credit card, corporate voucher, military Tuition Assistance (TA) and Thomas Edison State University Approved Financial Aid Award Letter, you may register through Online Student Services.
