Recommended timing - by June 1 (fall admit) or December 12 (spring admit):

We highly recommend that you take your test prior to December 12 for spring admittance or prior to June 1st for fall admittance. This will give you an opportunity at orientation to work with an advisor to make any necessary corrections to your fall schedule (based on the results of your placement tests).

At Orientation:

If you take your test at Orientation you will miss a significant portion of Orientation. You may also miss an opportunity to meet with an advisor to make any necessary corrections to your fall schedule (based on the results of your placement tests). You may not be able to complete your placement tests because there are a limited number of seats.

After Orientation:

If you take your test after Orientation you will need to confer with your advisor as soon as possible (after completing your placement tests) to make any necessary corrections to your fall schedule (based on the results of your placement tests).

There are three options to choose from to complete your placement test:

1. You can test at home for a $10 fee, via ACCUPLACER’S online proctor.
2. You can find a local test center that administers ACCUPLACER placement tests, for a fee determined by the local test center. 
3. You can schedule an appointment to test without a fee at the Rowan University Testing Center.

Rowan University does not collect or receive any portion of the fees collected by the online proctor or local testing center options.
