With this evaluation the student will work with an advisor to develop a program plan which maps out the courses, exams and military training they need to complete their remaining degree requirements. This program plan will also help the student develop a timeline for completion of their degree. Students can access advisement services in a variety or ways. Many of our military students choose to use e-mail as their primary form of contact with our advisors. The advisors can then thoroughly research the questions and provide a personalized response to the student.
Some students mail or fax their questions as well.
By allowing this multitude of methods to receive advisement, students can choose what is most comfortable and convenient for them. We also encourage students to use our website as a resource for self-assessment, frequently asked questions, and direction on resources which will assist in their degree completion. Students must complete at least 6 semester hours toward an associates degree at Thomas Edison State College and 12 semester hours toward a bachelors degree to meet our residency requirements for the Navy College Program.
