The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL) Test is designed to measure the English skills of non-native English speakers.
For those students who may need to take the ESL test for proper placement, you may take the test on any of our three campuses during open testing hours. You will need to apply to UCNJ and receive a UCC ID number. Please arrive with a photo ID and allow approximately two (2) hours to complete the ESL test.
