Admissions

How do I apply?

Register to take the Cooperative Admissions Examination (COOP). Registration Packets are available through your local Catholic elementary schools or parishes. The date to take the High School Admissions Test is November 9, 2007. Choose Union Catholic as one of the schools to receive your testing scores. Our school code is 835.

As an 8th grader, plan a visit to our Fall Open House which will be held on October 2nd at 7:00 PM. Early Bird Tours begin at 6:15 PM. At Open House, a packet will be given out which will include the Application for Admission to Union Catholic and information on the Scholarship Exam. You can also download the Application for Admission.

Plan to spend a day at our school in the Freshman for a Day Program. Only 8th graders may visit and visits will not be scheduled until after October 1st.

Fill out and return to Union Catholic by December 1st:

  • Your completed application for admission
  • Your complete 6th, 7th, and first marking period of 8th grade grades
  • Any standardized test scores

We will automatically receive your test scores from the COOP if you have selected Union Catholic as one of your choices.

Register to take our Scholarship Exam which will be held January 5, 2008 at 9 AM. There is a $25.00 fee to take this exam and no make up date. Register by phone at 908-889-1600 x302 or e-mail Betsy Thornton

As soon as we receive your completed Application for Admission, your grades and your COOP scores, we are able to make our acceptance decisions. We will register 200 students in the Class of 2012.

Letters of acceptance will be mailed to students on January 17, 2008 in accordance with the Archdiocese of Newark guidelines.
