Placement Tests

As a new student, you may have to take one or more placement tests. Whether you have to take them depends on whether we have SAT/ACT test score for you, if you were admitted Test Optional*, whether you transferred any college-level courses, and your declared major.

There are 4 areas of placement testing: Reading, Math, Writing, and Chemistry. 

Fall Admission: Deadline is June 1^st.

Spring Admission: Deadline has passed. Please complete as soon as possible.

All placement tests need to be completed at least 14 days prior to attending Summer Welcome Days. Only students who complete their placement testing in advance of the Summer Welcome Days event will receive an accurate course schedule.

Each student should refer to their New Student Checklist in their Applicant Status Portal.

*Please note: Rowan University's Test Optional Admission program applies solely to the University’s admission process. Students who apply as test optional and are admitted will still be required to take a series of placement tests. SAT and ACT scores cannot be used to waive this requirement for Test Optional students.
