How to interpret the acceptance rate
Stockton University admitted 88.9% of applicants to its reported entering class, so the published outcome covered a large share of that year’s applicant pool. Its rate is above the median of 85.9% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
The reported rate summarizes a group outcome and does not forecast an individual admission decision.
What SAT and ACT scores do Stockton University students report?
Submitted-score ranges at Stockton University give applicants a practical benchmark rather than an admissions threshold. Among enrolled students who submitted scores, the middle half had SAT scores from 1,030 to 1,230; applicants can compare their own results with that range as context, not a minimum.
The corresponding ACT range ran from 21 to 25 for enrolled score submitters. These figures describe the middle half of submitted scores, from the twenty-fifth through seventy-fifth percentiles, rather than every enrolled student.
Scores outside either range do not establish a cutoff, since the ranges summarize recent enrolled submitters.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Stockton University draws an undergraduate body with substantial Pell Grant participation and a sizable transfer presence. Pell Grant recipients make up 42.3% of undergraduates, a financial-access measure, and the university has 7,537 undergraduates overall.
An estimated 33.7% of the undergraduate population enters after beginning coursework elsewhere, so attendance is not limited to a single first-year entry route. This mix suggests a campus serving both grant-aided undergraduates and people continuing prior college study.
Completion is a relative strength at Stockton University, where the first-time full-time cohort has a six-year graduation rate of 68.5%, above the 49.1% peer median for comparable institutions. The first-year retention rate for full-time bachelor’s-seeking entrants is 78.6%, compared with 73.7% at comparable institutions.
Pell recipients in the first-time full-time cohort have a six-year completion rate of 71.0%, above the overall rate by 2.5 percentage points. Enrolled students can expect schoolwide persistence and completion measures that sit above their peer medians.
The two schoolwide measures point in the same direction, with Pell completion also above the overall rate.
