Apply to Navarro College

Transcripts

  • Send all OFFICIAL transcripts from each college/university attended to Navarro College Office of Admissions (Corsicana)

ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills)

  • Take the TEAS test.

  • Must achieve a minimum 66% Total TEAS Score

  • Students may take the TEAS test twice during each application cycle (March 1, 2025 - January 9, 2026).

  • Only one set of scores will be accepted.

The ATI TEAS is designed specifically to assess a student's preparedness entering the health science fields. Most likely, you've been asked to take the TEAS as part of your basic admissions requirements for nursing or allied health school. That's because studies show a consistent link between a student's performance on the TEAS and future academic success.
