Thomas Edison State College

Thomas Edison is a leader in distant education, and their degrees are widely recognized by all federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as anywhere in private industry. They are regionally accredited, which is the single most important accreditation that any educational institution wants.
My beef is with their financial affairs. Their monetary policies and financial policies and procedures are broken and in bad need of repair. I strongly suggest when you pay any money to TESU, that you keep all receipts and paperwork which pertain to all monetary payments you make to TESU. They also have a bad habit of charging your credit card before they deliver a service or merchandise to you. For example, I ordered a new TESU degree, and TESU immediately charged my credit card for the new degree (diploma). When the degree did not arrived after 30 days, I was then told by TESU that it was going to take four months, before my degree arrived! So, why did they charge my credit card for merchandise they never intended on shipping to me until some five months in the future? My billing rights expire 30 days after the receipt of my credit card statement. What consumer protection do I have?

I am enrolled in an online nursing degree program with this school. This semester one of my professors disappeared for approximately 6 weeks. That’s right, there was no professor at all interacting with the students. Nursing leadership at the school did absolutely nothing to address it. We were simply without a professor. The professor in my other class does not know how to utilize the Moodle learning program, and as a result, she frequently incorrectly grades students, accusing them of submitting work after the deadline. This has happened multiple times. Nursing leadership does not monitor their professors at all and the students pay the price for it.
The tuition is too high for this poor quality of education. This will be my last semester here as I am transferring to another school. I can get a higher quality education at another institution that provides professors that actually seem motivated to teach and engage students. This school is a waste of time and money. Please consider another school that will value its’ students and take the task of educating nurses seriously.

They were not able to fulfill a TECEP test because of technical errors on their website. Blamed me when I told them about the issue and denied my request for a refund. I bought teceps for $ 320 and they refused to give them to me, ticket #10 670 526, YOU STOLE FROM ME THOMAS EDISON, YOU ARE SCAM SCHOOL, WHEN I GO TO NEW JERSEY THIS SUMMER I WILL TAKE YOU TO SMALL CLAIMS.

I graduated with my BA in Liberal Studies from TESC in 2009. The learning platform was conducive to my career and assisted me in achieving my goals. All in all a great school!
