Freshmen - strength and quality of high school record, SAT and/or ACT scores, class rank,
letters of recommendation and essay.
Transfer students - a review of transcripts from all colleges attended, cumulative GPA, and if
transferring with fewer than 16 credits, strength of high school record and SAT and/or ACT scores.

Students receive extensive counseling, tutorial and other support services to ensure success at Stockton.

Housing & Residential Life
Approximately one-third of our students live on campus in residence halls or garden-style apartments. All units are centrally heated, air-conditioned and equipped with contemporary furnishings. All utilities including telephone service are provided by the College. Cashless laundry facilities are available in each housing complex.
In all housing complexes, professional staff from the Office of Housing and Residential Life and student community assistants are on hand to help students with problems and arrange social programs. However, students are responsible for their own living arrangements and study practices.
The Housing II and Housing III Complexes provide accommodations for 822 students and are conveniently located next to the N-wing cafeteria and student center complex. The residence halls are arranged in traditional fashion with single and double rooms available. A few steps away is the Townsend Residential Life Center, featuring meeting rooms, kitchenettes, a computer lab and convenience store. Also at the Center is a satellite office of Housing and Residential Life that is open evenings and weekends.
Within five-minute's walking distance from the main campus are the Housing I and Housing IV garden-style apartments in which more than 1,200 Stockton students reside. Situated in a wooded area by Lake Fred, the apartments each have private entrances, full kitchens and are suitable for four roommates. Near the apartments is the Lakeside Center, a resource center that offers a computer lab, meeting rooms, pizza parlor/snack bar, an indoor/outdoor multi-purpose entertainment center, and a convenience store. Next to Housing IV is the Commons Building, which contains a computer lab and academic classroom.
All accepted students receive a housing application with their acceptance package. Because housing is limited, students seeking housing should submit a housing application and deposit as early as possible. Housing is guaranteed for freshman and sophomore years at Stockton and available for the remaining upperclass years.
A variety of meal plans are available to all Stockton students. Those residing in residence halls are required to participate in the Extreme 19, 180 block meal plan or 120 block meal plan.
For more information on housing and the meal plans, contact the Office of Housing and Residential Life at 609-652-4332.
