Graduate and Doctoral Tuition | Thomas Edison State University

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.

Past Due Delinquent Account Policy

Student accounts that are past due and are not paid within 30 days from the date of a final payment reminder notification will be considered delinquent and placed for collection with an outside collection agency. Students are responsible for the past due tuition and any liability fees incurred. If it is necessary to place a delinquent account with a collection agency, any and all additional fees as well as the outstanding balance become the responsibility of the student. Access to student services will be prohibited for students with a past due delinquent account until their account balances are paid in full.
