Transfer Students

Welcome to Shippensburg University!

All transfer students who need further coursework in mathematics or writing must take placement testing. Your respective Dean’s office will review your transcripts and determine whether or not testing is required. You will be contacted by the placement testing office if you are required to test.

Depending on when you confirm your attendance at Ship, you may receive a letter, an email, or phone call (or all three) from the placement testing office indicating your testing requirements. It is important to confirm as early as possible so that placement testing information can reach you in a timely manner.

Check your Ship email account frequently after confirming your attendance as email is the official form of communication on campus.  

If you have questions concerning your testing requirement(s), please contact the appropriate Dean’s office. 

Please review the rest of our website for more detailed information concerning placement testing.
