The National League for Nursing Entrance Exam (NLN-NEX) is required for admission to the Program beginning with applicants seeking admission for the 2025/2026 academic year. The Program no longer accepts the TEAS or PAX exam.
The NLN NEX is offered through the Adult & Continuing Education division of UCT. The exam must be completed in person at an authorized testing center with an in-person proctor. Exams completed remotely and/or with a virtual proctor will NOT be accepted.
Additional information about the NLN NEX will be provided when the Application for Admission for 2025/2026 becomes available.
To have your NLN NEX scores considered for admission to the Program you must complete the Practical Nursing Program Application for Admission with the NON-REFUNDABLE payment of the $50.00 Application fee. Payment must be made in the form cash (please bring exact amount), treasurers check, or money order made out to Upper Cape Tech. If mailing your payment, do NOT mail cash. NEX scores received without an application to the Program on file will not be reviewed.
Applicants are permitted to take the NEX on three (3) occasions during an admission cycle, July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
IMPORTANT: NLN NEX results that are reported to UCT by NLN Testing Services as being flagged for any reason will NOT be considered for the purpose of applying to the UCT PN Program. The exam attempt WILL be considered as one of the three attempts for the purpose of testing in the admission cycle.
