Active Status for Contractual Program Students
Students enrolled in Thomas Edison State University through contractual and military agreements [i.e., Corporate Choice®, ArmyIgnitED, Military Degree Completion Program (MDCP), and Navy College Program] as well as veteran students and veteran family members must demonstrate academic activity by attempting a minimum of 1 semester hour credit over the course of the 12-month period for which they are enrolled.
For example, a student whose course or other credit-earning option began on Sept. 1, 2023, must register for another credit bearing course before Sept. 1, 2024, to be considered an enrolled Thomas Edison State University student for the following year. Students who do not attempt a course in an academic year will be deemed “Inactive.”
An “Inactive” military or veteran student may receive the following University services:
- Register for classes online. Military and veteran students will pay the current tuition rate of their respective contract. All other contract students will pay the current visiting student tuition rate. Registration by telephone or fax will also be permitted.
- View grades and current financial aid award status.
- Submit changes to mailing or email addresses.
- Receive academic advising for only current or potential Thomas Edison State University degree programs.
Evaluation updates, review of new transcripts, degree program changes, and access to myEdison® account will not be available. “Inactive” students (those who were previously enrolled in the University, but who have not demonstrated academic progress as described above) can reactivate their enrollment in the following ways:
Military and Veteran Students:
- Enroll for a minimum of three semester hours in a course or other credit-earning option. Students will be governed by the academic policies in place at the time they began their program.
- Military and veteran students who remain in "Inactive" status for three consecutive years must reapply for admission to return to the University and will be governed by the academic policies and degree programs in place at the time of their readmission.
Other Contractual Students:
- Enroll in a Thomas Edison State University course or other credit-earning option. Students who choose this route will be governed by the academic policies in place at the time of their original enrollment as long as a return is within 36 months.
