Notre Dame High School and Stockton University Announce Exciting Partnership for Direct Admissions Program

Notre Dame High School is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Stockton University. The partnership aims to provide students with a streamlined pathway to higher education through the Direct Admissions Program. This collaboration will enhance opportunities for Notre Dame students, allowing them to transition smoothly from high school to University.

Key Features of the Direct Admissions Program:

  • Eligibility Criteria: Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better by the end of their junior year and graduate with a high school diploma.
  • Application Process: Eligible students will complete the University's Direct Admit Application, which is available online. Notably, students qualifying for this program will not need to submit letters of recommendation or an application essay.
  • Standardized Testing: While standardized test scores (SAT and/or ACT) are not required for admission, they may be necessary for course placement in specific programs.
  • Program Specifics: Admission to Stockton University does not guarantee entry into specific academic programs, such as nursing or accelerated pre-medical studies, which may have additional requirements.
  • Application Fee Waiver: The application fee will be waived for students who apply before December 1 of their senior year.
  • Enrollment Confirmation: To secure their spot in the incoming class, students must submit a $250 Enrollment Confirmation Deposit by May 1 of their senior year. Waivers for this deposit are available upon request.

The University ranked #152 among National Universities and #81 among Top Public Schools, making it a valuable choice for students seeking quality education.
