How to Get Started
Complete and submit a TESU Application. Once we receive your application and official transcripts, we will generate an academic evaluation on TESU’s web-based degree planning tool, MyProgress. This tool will display your transfer course information and allow you to plan TESU courses that are still needed to complete your degree requirements.
This is the perfect time to discuss your transfer pathway options with a TESU staff member who can help align your educational and career goals with TESU’s degree offerings. Contact an admissions counselor at 609-777-5680, make an advising appointment or create an applicant account today.
