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 2021) 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.

ESL STUDENTS ONLY
Kean University policy requires that all newly-admitted undergraduate ESL students take the ACCUPLACER placement test to assess their skills in writing, reading, language use, and math. 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 on campus and immediately followed by an in-person oral interview with the ESL Program.
