Pre-Evaluation of Courses for Nursing Pre-Admissions
Many prospective Nursing students will have completed coursework outside of ��������. They should first check our TES database which contains over 6,000 equivalencies with our corresponding �������� courses.

1. If a course is listed as equivalent to ours, the Nursing department will accept it as part of their requisite courses for meeting minimum admissions (e.g., Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Psychology, Oral Communication, etc.)

2. If a course is not listed in our TES database, the student may submit an online request and choose the dropdown box we recently added “Pre-Nursing Admissions” or indicate such in the comments section. A copy of the results will be provided to the prospective student, Counseling department and Nursing department.

3. If you still have questions after following the above steps, you can contact our adjunct Nursing counselors via email (Pornsa Thammaraks). Please click on the counselor's name to email them directly.

You must attend a mandatory Information Session. (See Information Session Announcement for how to RSVP). Only students who have attended an information session will be considered for admissions.

The Nursing Department will only evaluate and consider completed applications with the proper documents uploaded. Once evaluation has been completed, you will be notified by email whether you were selected for the program or not. 

If you pass the Academic Evaluation successfully:

The ATI TEAS exam, a diagnostic assessment test (basic math, English, reading, and science), must be taken before the application filing period ends. Applicants must also send their official ATI scores before the end of the filing period.

All applicants must also pass the ATI TEAS in addition to meeting other requirements. Prospective students must score a composite score of 62.0% or higher on the ATI TEAS in order to pass.

NOTE: If you have already passed the ATI TEAS, you must have the official transcript(s) sent by ATI to �������� of all attempts and versions. The official transcript(s) must be sent from ATI directly to �������� before the end of the  application filing period.

If you are interested in taking the ATI TEAS exam at ��������, you must submit your application within the first two weeks of the filing period. We will offer spaces on a first-come-first serve basis to applicants that are eligible for our program.

Those who fail to achieve a passing score will be required to complete a remediation plan within one year of the initial testing date. Once remediation has been completed and approved, the prospective student may retake the ATI TEAS a second time and must pass with a 62.0% or higher in each subject category.

If you completed Steps 1-3 & pass the ATI TEAS test successfully:

Your complete application, ATI TEAS results, and all official transcripts will be reviewed by the Selection Committee. If approved, your application will be placed in the random lottery. We will notify you of your lottery result via email.
