Weathering Hurricane Florence

Weathering Hurricane Florence

To the Thomas Edison State University community,

On behalf of everyone at Thomas Edison State University, we hope you and your family are safe as you work to recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Florence.

To help assist you and other students in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia at this difficult time, the University is offering the following accommodations:

  • Students who are directly impacted by the hurricane and who are currently registered in courses for the July, August or September 2018 terms have the option of receiving a free eight-week course extension without mentor approval; or, a 100 percent tuition refund for their course(s). To request a course withdrawal with a tuition refund, affected students are asked to submit a Request for Course Withdrawal Form indicating "Hurricane Florence" as the reason for the request. Once this form is received by the Office of the Registrar, the refund will be issued within 2 weeks.
  • Impacted students who are currently on a course extension for the May or June 2018 term can request a second eight-week extension on their current term at no additional cost.
  • The University will follow the New Jersey State Guidelines for U.S. military students residing in or deployed to the affected region.

Request an Accommodation: Students affected by the hurricane and flooding who need an accommodation should contact the Office of the Registrar by email: registration@tesu.edu or phone (609) 984-1180.
