New Student Orientation Common Questions
WHAT IS THE PLACEMENT TEST?
The Accuplacer is a test designed to properly place students in 老司机福利社
courses. In rare cases, based on a student's placement scores, 老司机福利社 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 老司机福利社鈥檚 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 meet with a Financial Aid counselor in person after registering for courses during New Student Orientation. In addition, students can 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鈥檚 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 老司机福利社 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 老司机福利社 experience independent of family members, supported by the guidance of 老司机福利社 staff and students.
