If you are late, it is up to you to reschedule your TEAS exam.

The following items are prohibited in the testing area and must be left in your car or placed in a locker: cell phones, and all other electronic devices; food and beverages; backpacks, books and paperwork.

Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy

All applicants are expected to be honest in academic work and to display integrity in all aspects of student performance especially during exams. All ATI TEAS exams will be proctored.

Dishonesty or cheating is unacceptable.

If an applicant is caught with a cell phone, caught or suspected of cheating, or caught giving or receiving help during the exam, he/she will not be admitted to the program indefinitely based on unethical conduct. 

Applicants will occasionally resort to other methods of academic and intellectual dishonesty in order to gain advantage which they are not due. Some examples include:

• Taking an exam for another applicant or having another applicant take the exam for you.
• Passing information about the exam onto another applicant or accepting the same from another.
• Working collaboratively with another applicant.

Applicants who are non-compliant with the Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy will be subject to discipline, including no admittance indefinitely to the program without a right to appeal. 

TEAS Testing Dates for the February 2024 class will open on 9/1/2023

Thank you,
