Registering for Graduate Courses
Students are eligible to take graduate-level courses if:
> They have been accepted into a graduate degree or certificate program
> They have been accepted to be a nonmatriculated graduate student
> They have been accepted for the Bachelor’s to Master’s Program
Most graduate courses are offered four times a year in January, April, July, and October, and the School of Business and Management graduate courses are offered six times a year in January, March, May, July, September, and November. A typical course load is 6 credits per term, and degrees may be earned in 18 months or less. Online courses are guided by mentors, most of whom have practical experience and earned doctoral degrees. All online courses are delivered through myEdison®, the University’s online portal. Students are expected to have experience and proficiency using a computer, browsing the web, and sending and receiving email. Upon acceptance, students will be sent a seven digit University ID number and password. Graduate students in the W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing should refer to the information pertaining to online nursing programs in the Nursing Student Policies section of this publication.
Online registration (via Online Student Services) is available for Thomas Edison State University graduate students who have approved Thomas Edison State University financial aid or students who are paying the graduate tuition by credit card. Students should select the graduate academic level at the top of the screen to see the graduate course offerings.
Students may use the registration form to pay by paper check or a money order via the U.S. mail. Students may also use this form to pay in-person with cash, or a paper check or money order made payable to Thomas Edison State University.
Late Registration for all courses will take place following the close of regular registration. Only online, fax, telephone, and walk-in registrations will be accepted during this period. All late registrations must include the late registration fee. Students who mail in registrations postmarked after the close of the regular registration period will not be processed and will be contacted.
