Registration and Payment
TEAS is offered daily by appointment only. You must register and pay the administration fee in advance.
Two separate payments are required to register for the TEAS:
- One payment goes to FSU for administering the test. For current Florida State University students, a payment of $12 is payable by FSUCash only. For non-FSU students, a payment of $15.50 must be made online when making an appointment. This payment is non-refundable.
- The other payment is made directly to ATI testing via credit card only at the testing station on exam day. There may also be additional fees for each requested score report. For any additional fees or charges, please refer to the ATI website.
