Stockton University (NJ) – Thursday, November 7 Stockton’s preferred application method for onsite IDD’s is via the Stockton Online Application. All applications can be found by linking to or typing into any browser stockton.edu/apply. • Students should submit their online application at least three (3) business days prior to the IDD date. • The $50 application fee will be waived for onsite IDD participants if using the Stockton Online Application. Students should select “Pay Now Electronically” in the Application Fee Payment Selection and enter ONSITE1920 in the promo code section. • Currently we do not have a code for use with The Common App. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse the fee for onsite participants if the student has already submitted The Common App and paid the application fee. For those students who may have started the Stockton supplement of The Common App, but have not yet submitted, please tell students do not submit the Common App to Stockton, rather submit only the application portion of the Stockton online app using the instructions and code above. • Unofficial transcripts are acceptable for the interview day if official documents will be sent electronically. Test score print out from online delivery is acceptable for onsite review. Official score reports must be sent directly to Stockton from College Board or ACT, unless student is applying for a test optional major. • Please send a list of all students participating in your IDD to the Stockton counselor visiting your school at least three (3) business days prior to the IDD date. • Stockton counselors will review transcripts, test scores, and other documentation during the interview. We would prefer that counselors wait until after the instant decision day to upload e-docs in order to avoid a student’s application from being completed and reviewed, and therefore, having a decision rendered prior to the on-site day. However, even if a student has already submitted a completed application and received a decision, we will keep the interview appointment time to further discuss the students’ academic plans and review academic scholarship options. • Stockton reviews all student applications from a holistic approach. However, for students to be eligible for an instant decision, we prefer students meet the following criteria: . “B” average or better GPA based on academic courses and your school’s grading system . Ranking in the top 50% of the high school class (if school ranks) . Student involvement in meaningful work at school or in the community . Essay Stockton offers test-optional admission for most majors. Students should check the appropriate box on the application should they wish to be considered for admission without review of standardized test scores. For more information about our test optional policy, link to or type into any browser stockton.edu/testoptional. Students wishing to be considered for academic merit scholarships should submit SAT and/or ACT scores. New this year for the class entering 2020, Stockton has added scholarship opportunities for academically talented students who have chosen test-optional admission.
