Admissions
Admissions at Community College of Rhode Island
Highly Competitive.
- No publicly stated acceptance or admission rate (%) was found for CCRI’s nursing programs on official CCRI (.edu) sites.
- Minimum GPA / point-based scoring system (Associate Degree Nursing – ADN):
- CCRI employs a point system (Performance-Based Health Sciences, PBHS) rather than fixed thresholds. Points are awarded for:
- Cumulative GPA (e.g., 2.7 = 27 points, up to 4.0 = 40 points)
- Grades in key courses (BIOL 1010/BIOL 2201, ENGL 1010, PSYC 2010), each letter grade converted to points (e.g., A = 40 points, B = 30, C = 20)
- HESI A2 Preadmission Test:
- Four sections (Reading, Math, Vocabulary/General Knowledge, Grammar)
- Points range roughly from 7.5–10 per section (e.g., 75–100% = 7.5–10 points), total up to 40 points
- Overall total possible points: 200
- The program is highly competitive; applicants not admitted are encouraged to meet with an advisor to improve PBHS points
- TEAS exam:
- No official CCRI pages specify a TEAS score requirement for their nursing program.
- CCRI uses HESI A2 testing, not TEAS, as part of their point system
- External (non-CCRI) sources reference TEAS generally, but these are not officially CCRI‑endorsed requirements ([studybuddy.live](https://studybuddy.live/blog/tea
