Placement Testing Accommodations
RCSJ provides placement testing accommodations ensuring equitable access for all students supporting diverse learning needs and academic pathways.
RCSJ requires all newly-admitted students to take the college placement test. All first-time, full-time and part-time students are required to take this exam after admission to the College but prior to registering for classes.
This exam helps place students in classes based on their current ability levels in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Students may be eligible for an exemption from the test based on their SAT scores. For more information, contact the Rowan College Testing Center at 856-415-2268.
Special Accommodations for Placement Testing
If the only special accommodation the student is requesting for the placement test is extra time, the test should be arranged through the Rowan College Testing Center. The placement test is untimed, so the student will automatically have extended time granted. For extra time on tests for classes during the semester, however, the student must be registered with and qualify for academic accommodations through the Department of Special Services.

Since the Placement Test is untimed, students who qualify for the accommodation of extra time do not need to make special arrangements to take the Placement Test.
Students are tested in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics: pre-algebra and elementary algebra.
