TEAS Updates:
- TEAS scores will now be accepted within a two year window. For students applying for fall 2025, TEAS scores will be valid from Feb 15, 2023 – Feb 15, 2025.
- The TEAS exam may be taken four times within a two year window with at least 30 days between each attempt. Any attempt after the fourth attempt will not be considered. Any attempt prior to the 30 day waiting period will not be considered.
The TEAS® exam is required for all students who are applying to the Upper Division Nursing BSN Program. Exams must be taken and submitted to the department by February 15 of the year of admission to the Upper Division. Thus, if you are applying for fall 2025, your TEAS® score report is due by Feb 15, 2025. Tests may be taken twice per cycle (February 16th - February 15) with at least 30 days between attempts. Students may also take the examination at any approved testing center (including community colleges) and via at-home proctoring.
Notice: Students may take the TEAS twice per year with 30-days between attempts. The highest score from the prior two years is considered.
All students should check with the McKenzie-Elliott School of Nursing to ensure that their results have been received. When registering and before taking the exam, be sure to designate UNCP to receive your scores. Score reports must come directly from ATI. We do not accept self-submitted scores.
IMPORTANT: All students must create an ATI account before taking the TEAS and bring their username and password to the Testing Center in order to take the TEAS exam. Instructions for creating an account are available below.
