ATI TEAS Version 7 will be released June 3, 2022. Effective July 1, 2023, the LAHC Nursing Program will only accept scores from the new TEAS Version (ATI TEAS Version 7).
Students if you are applying to the Spring 2026 cohort and completing the TEAS exam on your own it must be completed by Friday, September 19, 2025 in order to be accepted with your Spring 2026 application. See more information here.
We will accept online prerequisite science courses, for the time being, based on the current impact of COVID-19. We will accept these online prerequisite science courses from the schools LAHC has traditionally accepted courses from. Any courses not already accepted at LAHC will require a Petition for Course Equivalency. We strongly advise to meet with a counselor about enrolling in an online prerequisite science course and determine its articulation at LAHC.
