Where to Take the ATI TEAS: ATI, PSI, Campus, or Remote

Choose TEAS delivery only after you know which formats each program accepts. Remote, PSI, ATI, and campus seats are different administrations, not interchangeable transcripts by default.

Short answer

Where you take the TEAS is a policy choice as well as a logistics choice. ATI currently offers TEAS at ATI (remote), TEAS Online at Institution (remote, school-proctored), TEAS at Institution (in person), and TEAS at PSI (center or remote). Some schools do not accept remote transcripts. Confirm each program before you pay. ATI says refunds are not given if you choose a format the school will not use, and the attempt still counts.

Delivery is a transcript decision

Where you sit the TEAS is a policy choice as much as a logistics choice. Some programs will not accept a remote transcript. Choose the format those programs named, then keep studying the four sections rather than shopping extra dates. How to register is the checkout path. This page is the choice among paths.

ATI’s four options, when the school uses ATI, are:

  • TEAS at ATI remote — home, ATI proctor, you send scores, times in central time
  • TEAS Online at Institution remote — home, school proctor, scores auto-send to that school
  • TEAS at Institution in person — campus or designated center, school proctor, scores auto-send
  • TEAS at PSI — PSI center or PSI remote after you pay ATI and schedule with PSI; you send scores

Remote exam setup explains cameras, rooms, and system checks. Do not use that page as permission to test at home if the school forbids it.

How to pick among allowed options

If only one format is allowed, take that one. Convenience is not a waiver.

If campus and remote are both allowed, ask which transcript the admissions committee actually prefers. “Accepted” and “preferred” can differ. Get it in writing.

If you need the score at more than one school, confirm each school accepts the administration you are about to buy. A PSI remote seat that School A loves can be useless to School B.

In-person seats add travel and a fixed start time. Remote seats add device risk and a room you must control. Neither is officially “easier.” ATI does not publish a difficulty ranking by location.

Exam-day ID and calculator rules still apply in every format. Cost can differ when a campus bundles extra fees.

Once the site is booked, take a mixed TEAS set on the same kind of clock you will use that day.

Mistakes that waste the fee

Paying for TEAS at ATI remote because a friend did, then learning your program only accepts on-campus TEAS.

Creating two ATI accounts to “try both.”

Assuming Version 4 campus scores can be sent everywhere—they cannot, per ATI.

Skipping the remote system check, then missing the appointment. Missed exams are not refunded.

After you choose

Save the confirmation, time zone, and proctor type. If the school auto-receives the score, you still may need extra transcripts for other applications.

The ATI TEAS hub and Guides stay the content library. Location is only the room.

If device anxiety is the issue and campus is allowed, pick campus. If travel is the issue and remote is accepted, complete the technical check a day early.

Then spend remaining review on the section that would force a second paid attempt.

A close date is not a reason to rebuild the whole outline.

If the appointment is already close, keep a short general TEAS block rather than rebuilding the whole plan.
