Placement Testing

NOTICE FOR SPRING & FALL 2022 ACCEPTED FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

Most first-year admitted students are not required to take a placement test. College readiness is determined by SAT scores (if available), cumulative High School GPA, and other factors. The School of General Studies will contact newly (Fall 2022) admitted first-year students through their personal email to provide instructions on how to register for an Academic Advising Appointment.


To schedule an Academic Advising Appointment, please click here. Students can also email sgswconline@kean.edu with questions about scheduling an appointment.

NOTICE FOR SPRING & FALL 2022 ACCEPTED TRANSFER STUDENTS

Before registering for classes, newly accepted transfer students should sign up for Transfer Advisement Days after their program evaluation and placement test (if required) are completed. Transfer students that require a placement test will receive a notification via their personal and Kean email. 

Please visit https://www.kean.edu/accepted for more information.

ESL STUDENTS ONLY

Kean University policy requires that all newly-admitted undergraduate ESL students take an ESL placement test. In addition to the placement test, an oral interview will be required to determine speaking and listening courses. The written placement test will be administered virtually by email and immediately followed by an oral interview with the ESL Program via Google Meet. 

ESL students will be notified about the placement test through their personal email.

For further information about ESL placement testing, call the Placement Testing Office by email at testing@kean.edu. You may also contact the ESL Office by email at esl@kean.edu.
