About Our Courses
The course lists and descriptions contained in this Catalog cite the offerings beginning with the July 2020 semester. It is occasionally necessary, and the University retains the right, to withdraw, modify, or add courses to the existing list during the academic year without prior notice. For updates on course offerings, visit www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/ or call 609-777-5680.
For many courses, students have options regarding the method of learning.
Which option students choose will determine how they correspond with their mentor, how they deliver assignments, and how they receive graded assignments in return. In the case of online courses, the choice involves a commitment to an interactive, web-based format, with the opportunity to communicate with other students enrolled in the course and to take advantage of web resources pertinent to the course.
Course Engagement
Students attending Thomas Edison State University are expected to participate and fully engage in all academically related activities. Examples of these activities include making submissions to online discussion boards, communicating within the class lounge forum, dialoguing with mentors within the private mentor forum, submitting assignments, and completing exams and quizzes when due. Students must review course calendars for the timing and types of submissions expected.
NOTE: Merely logging into or viewing courses does not constitute academic engagement.
The University will periodically review student progress and engagement during each term. Failure to sign into a course and complete scheduled course work on time may result in an adjustment or termination of federally sponsored financial support, such as Military Tuition Assistance, Veterans Education Benefits, or other Title IV Financial Aid (grants and loans). Such decertification or adjustments may lead to cancellation of benefits or recoupment by the sponsoring agency for any monies paid to students (or to the University on student’s behalf) for enrolling in these courses, including tuition, fees, housing allowance, and book stipends. Such cancellation or recoupment does not negate the student’s financial obligation to the University; they may be held responsible for all charges incurred for the courses in which they are enrolled.
