Admissions Procedures for Non-Traditional Applicants Admission by Examination
You may apply for Admission by Examination if you have not completed high school. Candidates for Admission by Examination apply by taking the SAT or ACT and three SAT subject area tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, including English and mathematics. The third examination may be taken in a subject of your choice, unless you are applying to the College of Nursing, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, or the School of Engineering. For these schools, the third subject must be a science. ACT scores must include the optional Writing Test.
Applicants who do not have the required academic subjects for schools on the
Camden,
Newark, and
New Brunswick campuses may be admitted on the basis of their scores on the relevant SAT subject area tests, or they may be required to make up specific subject deficiencies.
Early Graduation
Students who plan to apply as high school juniors must be competitive for admission, present strong high school records, and demonstrate readiness for college. If you will not have a high school diploma by the time of enrollment, apply for Admission by Examination (see above) and submit a transcript that includes your grades for the first half of your final year.
GED Holders
Applicants who have earned a General Educational Development (GED) certificate must submit an official report of their GED examination scores as well as transcripts from any high school(s) attended. First-year applicants with a GED may consider taking SAT subject tests or attending their local county college to complete
entrance requirements before applying. You may find information about the GED at
GED123.org.
