How to send your TEAS scores to nursing schools
Written and reviewed by Brittany Scott, BSN, RN, CCM · 4 min read · Updated November 2026
Short answer
You send TEAS scores yourself from the Results tab of your ATI account by clicking Send Transcript and choosing the school. Your registration includes one transcript; as of November 2026 ATI charges $29.99 for each extra. A TEAS taken through a school goes to that school automatically, and sent transcripts arrive within about two hours.
Which TEAS transcripts go automatically
It depends on how you tested. ATI says a TEAS taken in person at a school or testing center, or remotely with your school as proctor, includes one transcript that is sent automatically to that school, typically within two hours. You cannot redirect that included transcript to a different school.
TEAS at ATI and TEAS at PSI work the other way. Your registration includes one transcript credit, but nothing is sent until you log in and choose a school. ATI states that making sure your scores are on file with each school is your responsibility.
Steps to send your TEAS transcript
ATI's help center gives the same steps for every format. Sign in at atitesting.com/login, open MY ATI and then the Results tab, find your TEAS under Proctored Assessments, and click Send Transcript. You can also use Send Transcript under TEAS Activity or on your score report.
In the window that opens, select your school and confirm. Each send uses one credit, and your account then shows the school name and date sent. If your school is not in the list, confirm with the school that it is registered with ATI, then contact ATI Customer Support.
How much is a TEAS transcript?
As of November 2026, ATI lists additional transcript credits at $29.99 each. You can add them while registering for TEAS at ATI or buy them later when you send. Applying to three programs with one included credit means buying two more, so about $60 on top of the exam fee.
Before you buy, confirm each school accepts your sitting. ATI's PSI instructions tell you to verify the school accepts PSI transcripts first, and Kapi'olani Community College notes that scores from other testing centers do not transfer automatically and must be ordered through ATI.
How long it takes, by format
Delivery itself is fast; the wait is for your score to become final. The timings below come from ATI's help center. Count business days, because ATI excludes weekends and major holidays.
| How you tested | When you can send | When the school receives it |
|---|---|---|
| At a school, in person or school-proctored remote | Included copy is automatic | Typically within 2 hours |
| TEAS at ATI (remote) | Right away, while the score is preliminary | After the score is final, about 4 business days, then within 2 hours |
| TEAS at PSI | After the score posts, within 48 hours of the exam | Within about 2 hours of sending |
For TEAS at ATI you do not need to wait for the preliminary label to clear. ATI queues a transcript sent during that period and releases it automatically once the score is final, so the school only ever sees the official score. The credit is used when you click Send.
Sent it to the wrong school or need an older score?
A send cannot be cancelled or recalled. ATI's policy is that transcript purchases are final, so if you picked the wrong school the only fix is to buy another credit and send to the right one. Check the school name in the list before you click Send.
Older scores have limits too. ATI says scores are usually accepted for about two years, but each school sets its own window and may shorten it after a blueprint change.

Common questions
How do I send my TEAS score to another school?
Buy an extra transcript credit for $29.99, then go to the Results tab in your ATI account, click Send Transcript under your TEAS and select the school. This works even if your included copy already went to the school where you tested.
Does the school get my preliminary TEAS score?
No. If you send during the preliminary period after a TEAS at ATI exam, ATI holds the transcript and releases it only once the score is final, about four business days after the exam.
Can I send my TEAS scores for free?
Your registration includes one free transcript. For TEAS at ATI and PSI you choose the school; for a school sitting it goes to that school. Each further school costs $29.99 as of November 2026.
