SB 1309 allows community colleges to utilize approved diagnostic assessment tools prior to enrollment in the nursing program. Evergreen utilizes the Test for Essential Academic Skills (TEAS). For additional information on the TEAS, visit http://www.atitesting.com/global/students/teas-faq.aspx
In order to be eligible for the nursing program, Evergreen requires a qualifying score of 72%. This score has been validated by reviewing Evergreen student success data. Students who do not meet the qualifying score will be given one year to complete an individualized remediation plan. The student can then retake the TEAS.

Evergreen will offer TEAS testing dates and times for students that have been selected for provisional enrollment in the nursing program. The next cycle for TEAS testing will occur in December 2009. Since Evergreen receives state Enrollment Growth and Retention Funds, the $25 fee attached to the TEAS is waived for students who have been provisionally accepted to Evergreen’s nursing program. These fees will be waived through spring 2010.

For students who have completed the TEAS prior to applying, please provide the nursing program with an official TEAS transcript. These can be ordered through http://www.atitesting.com/OnlineStore/BrowseStore.aspx?RootID=84&CatID=96. The TEAS transcript should be included with the Evergreen nursing application.

There is currently no recency to the TEAS test..
