Testing Schedule
About the Exam: Students taking the HESI admissions exam for entrance into the SFCC Nursing Program are allowed to test twice in an application period. Each testing date has an automatic retest date of at least 28 business days*following the original test date. Please be sure that when you select your preferred test date, you will be available for the retest date as well, should it become necessary.
Exam Subjects included in HESI: Biology, Chemistry, Grammar, Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge.
At this time we are uncertain whether HESI exams will be held in person at the SFCC Testing Center or via ProctorU. Please check back for updates.

This testing period will be open for registration 7/1/2023. Please check back on this date for the current registration link.

Accessibility Accommodations for Examinees with Documented Disabilities
**These accommodations are for SFCC students with documented disabilities. If you are a non-SFCC student, please contact the Testing Center for next steps.**
Testing accommodations are provided for examinees with documented disabilities in accordance with the ADA. To receive accommodations, you must meet with the SFCC Office of Accessibility Services (505-428-1711) for a standard intake interview and to have your documentation reviewed. The Testing Center and Elsevier will not provide non-standard testing arrangements without a referral from the SFCC Office of Accessibility Services. It may take several weeks to get the proper documentation processed. Elsevier requires at least 2 weeks prior to the exam date to modify the exam to meet the student’s accommodation requirements.
For more information, please contact testingcenter@sfcc.edu.
*Please note that if you are testing at SFCC but plan to attend another college’s nursing program you must check with that school to see how much time they require between testing attempts. SFCC’s requirement is 28 days, but some schools have significantly longer times required between attempts.
