Combining test scores (SAT, ACT, or TEAS) from different dates is not allowed. Test scores older than five (5) years are not accepted. There will be a 30 day wait period between testing. The TEAS test may be taken twice in a calendar year, (January 1-December 31). Applicants may take the TEAS test no more than five (5) times.
The general education courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher. Grades from all institutions are subject to this policy.
Credit awarded as “E” to a student through advanced standing will not be calculated in the admission program GPA.
The applicant will be ranked based upon scoring of GPA, SAT, ACT, or TEAS score, completion of the Pre-Nursing Preparatory Certificate (PNPC) or at least 12 credit hours of nursing pre-requisites at Central Carolina Technical College, and county of residence. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), Certified Medical Assistants (CMA), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT), Paramedics (NRP), Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), Surgical Technologists, and Pharmacy Technicians will be given extra credit on the application. Must submit proof.
For students applying for Option 1 or Option 2: In the event that two or more applicants have completed all of the prerequisite courses, a GPA will be calculated. In the event that two or more applicants achieve identical point counts during the admissions process, the highest GPA will serve as the determining factor. In the event that two or more applicants have identical GPAs, the highest test score (SAT for Option 1 or ACT for Option 2) will be the deciding factor.
For students applying for Option 3: In the event that two or more applicants achieve identical point counts during the admissions process, the highest-Grade Point Average (GPA) will serve as the determining factor. In the event that two or more applicants have the exact same GPA, the highest TEAS score will be the deciding factor.
Meeting the criteria does not guarantee admission to the program.
