• Upon invitation, Phase 2 applicants must take the most current TEAS exam (TEAS 7) as part of the application requirements. Previous versions of the TEAS will not be considered for admission.
• The TEAS exam is conducted in a proctored computer lab on the Chaffey College campus and is administered in a computer lab. DPS accommodation is available.
