Our TEAS testing schedule is changing. EMCC is moving from multiple testing sessions each week to one in-person testing date per month. Students who need to test sooner, or who can’t make the scheduled campus date, can register for a remote proctored exam through ATI. Upcoming in-person dates will be posted here once they are confirmed.

Terms are described at https://atitesting.com/remote-proctoring-terms/.
