What is the Placement Test?
Rowan
College at Gloucester County requires all newly-admitted students to
take the College Placement Test, which places students at their current
ability level in Reading, Writing and Math, or satisfy one of the
exemption criteria. The placement test is taken after admission to the
College but prior to course registration. Test results determine course
placement.
What Subjects are on the Placement Test?
Students are tested in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics: pre-algebra and elementary algebra.
What if a student has Vision, Hearing, or Mobility issues and needs to request accessibility accommodations?
Individuals
with physical disabilities who may need accessibility accommodations
should also contact the Department of Special Services to request
accessibility accommodations.
Since the Placement Test is untimed,
students who qualify for an extra time accommodation do not need to
make special arrangements to take the Placement Test.
May I be Exempt From Taking the Placement Test?
Students who have achieved the
required test scores on the SAT®, ACT Composite
or PARCC may qualify for an exemption from portions of the College
Placement Test. Students should supply the Office of Admissions with a
copy of qualifying exemption scores.
