Questions about a possible lockdown at Stockton University’s Galloway Township campus are circulating, but as of September 25, 2026, there is no reliable public confirmation of a new lockdown at the university today. Stockton University’s current public information does not show a lockdown notice, while its campus crime log lists recent incidents but does not identify a September 25 lockdown.
The situation may be confused with a major security incident that occurred at Stockton University on September 11, 2025. On that occasion, the Galloway campus was placed under a shelter-in-place order after a shooting was reported near the university. Authorities said a woman was shot during what was investigated as a possible road-rage incident. The incident prompted police activity in the area and led university officials to restrict movement on campus.
According to contemporaneous reports, the 2025 shelter-in-place order was lifted later that afternoon. Classes and activities that had been canceled for the remainder of the day were expected to resume under the university's normal schedule afterward.
For September 25, 2026, Stockton's official website is showing scheduled campus activity, including performances of Forever Plaid at the Performing Arts Center on September 25 and 26. The university's academic calendar also shows that the fall semester is currently underway, with classes having begun September 8.
Anyone on or near the Galloway campus should rely on official Stockton University emergency notifications and instructions from campus police rather than unverified social-media reports. If an emergency alert is issued, students, employees and visitors should follow the university's instructions immediately.
This story will be updated if Stockton University, Galloway Township Police, or another authoritative source confirms a new lockdown or emergency situation.
