CUNY Kingsborough Community College (KBCC) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

KCC explicitly states that EVERY TEAS attempt counts toward a student's two total allowed attempts, regardless of WHERE the exam was taken (KCC or any other nursing program) and regardless of whether scores were ever sent to KCC. A student who took the TEAS at a different college's testing site years ago, even for an entirely different nursing program application, has already used one of their two total lifetime attempts at KCC specifically - calculate total attempts across one's ENTIRE testing history, not just KCC-specific sittings, before planning a testing strategy.

KCC requires students to personally log into their ATI account after testing and submit their transcript to Kingsborough specifically - scores are never sent automatically regardless of testing location. KCC explicitly states failure to do this "will result in the denial of your application," and recommends confirming with ATI customer service directly that the transfer succeeded. Treat this manual transmission step as its own required checklist item with its own confirmation step, not something that happens passively after testing.

KCC's Pre-Clinical eligibility explicitly requires completion of the Pre-Clinical course sequence (ENG 1200, PSY 1100, BIO 1100, and for Clinical applications also SCI 2500) by the end of a specific spring semester, with an explicit note that this EXCLUDES the following Summer Session B term. A student planning to finish a Pre-Clinical course in summer should confirm whether that specific summer session is excluded from their target deadline, since KCC's own materials flag this exclusion explicitly as a common point of confusion.

KCC states plainly that students who have repeated and/or withdrawn from ANY Pre-Clinical Sequence course "may not be considered for admission to the Nursing program" - a much stricter standard than averaging in a lower grade or applying a repeat penalty. A student struggling in one of these foundational courses should treat a potential withdrawal as a much higher-stakes decision than it might be in a typical class, given KCC's explicit framing of this as a disqualifying event for nursing eligibility specifically.
