Nursing Prospective Students
Announcements
You are required to take an Ethnic Studies course in order to complete an associate degree at a California Community College. Select one Ethnic Studies (minimum 3 semester units) course from Local AA/AS GE Requirements in Area 6: Ethic Studies. Students with catalog rights prior to Fall 2023 may be exempt from this requirement. Please see a counselor for more information.
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).
Attention Spring 2026 Applicants:
If you are taking the TEAS exam on your own, it must be completed by Friday, September 19, 2025 to be considered with your Spring 2026 application.
Applicants who have not completed the TEAS on their own will be considered through the standard application process. The nursing program Admission Committee will select 50% of these applicants based on a multi-criteria admissions process and 50% through a random lottery to receive a voucher to take TEAS through ATI Testing. There is no cost to applicants for taking the TEAS through this option.
Important: Only students who take the TEAS using the LA Harbor College voucher are eligible for remediation if they do not pass on their first attempt. Students must contact LAHC nursing within 1 month of receiving the notification from ATI Testing that they have not passed the TEAS exam and they are eligible for remediation. 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.

Starting with the SPRING 2020 application period (AUGUST 2019), the Los Angeles Harbor College Associate Degree Nursing Program will be utilizing a multi-criteria admission process to select applicants. Qualified applicants will be selected as follows:
