Enrollment
A student’s enrollment date is defined as the 10th day of a term for which a student registers paying the Per Credit Tuition plan or Full-Time Flat Rate-Tuition plan. This tuition covers a period of one year of service. Active- duty military and National Guard students are considered New Jersey state residents for administrative purposes and, therefore, pay in-state tuition rate.
For example, a student whose course or other credit-earning option began on Sept. 1, 2025, must register for another credit bearing course before Sept. 1, 2026, 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” student may receive the following University services:
• Register for classes online
• 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:
• 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.
• 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.
