Purpose
Thomas Edison State University was established by the State of New Jersey and chartered by the New Jersey Board of Higher Education in 1972. The University was founded for the purpose of providing diverse and alternative methods of achieving a collegiate education of the highest quality for mature adults. To this end, the University seeks:
- To provide curricula and degree opportunities of appropriate level and composition consistent with the aspirations of our students, the public welfare, and the highest qualitative standards of American higher education.
- To create a system of college-level learning opportunities for adults by organizing collegiate and sponsored non-collegiate instruction into coherent degree strategies.
- To make available educationally valid learning opportunities which serve as alternatives to classroom study and which are appropriate to the varied needs and learning styles of adults.
- To develop and implement processes for the valid and reliable assessment of experiential and extra-collegiate college-level learning, and to provide appropriate academic recognition for knowledge so identified consistent with high standards of quality and rigor.
- To serve higher education and the public interest as a center of innovation, information, policy formulation and advocacy on behalf of adult learners.
- To fulfill the public service obligation inherent to American institutions of higher education.
- To conduct its affairs in a manner which acknowledges the maturity, autonomy, and dignity of its students; assures a portal of access to higher education for adult learners; and celebrates the values, diversity and high qualitative standards of American higher education.

CARES Act Reporting
The Federal government recently enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, an economic relief fund for those impacted by COVID-19. The University received $17,249 in CARES Act funding and 100 percent of those funds have been committed to provide relief by way of emergency financial aid grants to impacted students who qualify. Under U.S. Department of Education guidelines, awarded funds must be used for food, housing, course materials, technology, healthcare and childcare expenses related to disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The U.S. Department of Education does not allow these funds to be used for international students, undocumented students, non-matriculated students or students enrolled in distance-only degree programs. Since the majority of TESU students use online methods of course completion, only students enrolled in the University’s Accelerated BSN Program were eligible to apply for CARES Act funding. Eligible students were invited to apply and each applicant was reviewed by the University’s Scholarship Committee. The University disbursed the allotted funding directly to seven students who fulfilled the criteria. The University’s Scholarship Program does not discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, marital status or disability. Grant amounts were determined based on the number of applications received and the specific needs demonstrated in the application. Award recipients were notified via the email noted on the scholarship application.

Enrollment Grace Period
All students are provided a thirty day grace period at the end of their current year of service. For example if their enrollment date is August 2, 2019 they have a thirty day grace period that ends on September 1, 2020.
The primary purpose of the grace period is to provide students completing their degrees with time to submit final grades or transcripts for the graduation audit if they are in a TESU course or exam at the end of their enrollment period. Students that will not complete their final courses during the grace period will be required to continue their enrollment by enrolling in an additional TESU course or exam.
If a student has not enrolled in a course or exam that will extend their active enrollment under one of the University's per credit tuition plans, he or she will become inactive at the end of the grace period.
