Important Information to note:
- NVCC and the other CT-CCs only offer the "TEAS for Nursing" version of the TEAS. There is no content difference between the "TEAS for Nursing" and the "TEAS for Allied Health". Students can take the "TEAS for Nursing" regardless of which program they are applying to.
- NVCC Students are not restricted to taking the TEAS at NVCC's Testing Center - students may test at any testing center as long as they send their scores to NVCC.
- Students applying to the CT-CC Nursing, Respiratory Care, or Radiologic Technology Programs can take the TEAS Test on or before February 1st of each application cycle. Scores expire after 3 years.
- Students applying to the PTA Program can take the TEAS Test on or before October 1st of each application cycle. Scores expire after 3 years.
- Proctoring fee information: The TEAS Test is currently $120 payable to ATI. There is an additional $15 proctor fee payable to NVCC. You will be required to pay the proctoring fee prior to your test session. The TEAS testing fee may be increased by ATI at any time but our NVCC Proctor fee ($15) will not be increasing; NVCC does not control whether ATI chooses to increase their prices.
- Final Cost: $120 + $15 = $135 total for each TEAS Test session.
