WHAT IS THE PLACEMENT TEST? 
The Accuplacer is a test designed to properly place students in Stockton University courses. In rare cases, based on a student's placement scores,  Stockton may withdraw an offer of admission and recommend that students begin their higher-education journey at a school with appropriate curricular offerings.

WHY DO I NEED TO TAKE THE TEST? 
Students who have not submitted SAT/ACT scores must take 3 Accuplacer tests (reading, writing, and math) prior to attending the mandatory New Student Orientation and Registration. Students who have submitted a math SAT of 570 or less or a math ACT of 24 or less must complete the math Accuplacer only. Please check your personal email for your specific testing needs and to register. If you have taken the SAT/ACT but have not yet sent the scores to us, please do so ASAP. 

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR PLACEMENT TESTING?  
Easy! Go to calendly.com/Accuplacer to schedule your in-person placement test at one of Stockton’s convenient locations. To take the test online, use the remote voucher that was sent to your personal email account from Accuplacer with the subject line "Remote Voucher Notification." If you cannot locate the voucher in your inbox, email PlacementTestingRoom@stockton.edu for assistance.

Students will take a photo for their student ID card during their in-person orientation. ID cards will be distributed during Welcome programs at the beginning of your first semester.

Students meet with a Financial Aid counselor in person after registering for courses during New Student Orientation. In addition, students can sign up for an in-depth Financial Aid Appointment prior to attending Orientation by clicking here.  Family members are able to join their student for this meeting if the student so wishes.

Students experiencing dietary restrictions and food allergies can connect with Chartwells and the University’s Nutritionist Abby Broschard, who can help the student identify food options on campus that meet their needs.

The Learning Access Program (LAP) is a strong ally for your student managing learning or housing accommodations. If your student requires special accommodations please connect with the Learning Access Program to schedule an appointment ASAP. You can schedule an appointment with LAP by emailing lap@stockton.edu or by calling 609-652-4988. This appointment does not need to take place prior to course registration on their Orientation date, but we encourage starting the process of connecting with LAP once your student is admitted to Stockton and has their medical documentation available to them (IEP, 504, etc). 

One or two family members are welcome to attend Orientation with their student and participate in Family Orientation sessions provided concurrently with our student sessions.

Some formal Orientation sessions such as course registration will not permit family members to participate with their student due to occupancy restrictions. This also allows the student to begin navigating the Stockton experience independent of family members, supported by the guidance of Stockton staff and students.
