Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

FTCC explicitly states it only accepts and administers the ATI TEAS exam for its Competitive Health Admissions process (covering nursing, dental hygiene, and practical nursing), and that TEAS IV and TEAS V scores are not comparable to and not acceptable for FTCC's process - a student must register directly through atitesting.com, selecting "Nursing" as the Program Type to test at an FTCC location. A student with an older TEAS score from a different version or testing platform should confirm it's the correct current ATI TEAS version before assuming it will be accepted, since version mismatch alone can disqualify an otherwise strong application.

FTCC explicitly offers "military remote testing" for active duty soldiers and dependents, accessible by emailing the testing office with that specific phrase in the subject line - a genuinely distinct accommodation given FTCC's location adjacent to Fort Bragg (Fort Liberty) and its #1 Military Friendly Community College ranking from VIQTORY. A military-connected student facing deployment timing, duty restrictions, or distance from campus should request this remote option proactively rather than assuming standard in-person testing logistics apply to their situation.

FTCC explicitly recommends completing the DoD Tuition Assistance request process at least 30 days prior to the FTCC class start date, and clarifies that submitting an approved TAR does not itself register a student for classes - registration must happen separately through Self-Service. A military student using TA should build in this 30-day buffer and understand TA approval and course registration are two distinct, sequential steps, not one combined action.

Students who attended a regionally accredited institution where English was the language of instruction and completed college-level English/math with a "C" or better - or who already hold an associate degree or higher from such an institution - can satisfy FTCC's placement requirements without retaking a standard placement exam, distinct from the GED/HiSET score thresholds (145 per section; HiSET 15 per section plus a 4 on the essay) that apply to other entry paths. A transfer student or degree-holder should confirm RISE eligibility with FTCC's testing office before assuming a placement exam is mandatory.
