School of Nursing Policy 4.6

4.6 ATI

(Revised 6/12/2022)

Background
1. Assessment Technologies Institute® (ATI) offers resources to enhance student
academic and NCLEX success (www.atitesting.com).

2. The comprehensive program offers multiple assessment and remediation activities.
These include assessment indicators for academic success, critical thinking, and
learning styles. Online tutorials, practice testing, and proctored testing over the major
content areas in nursing are available. These ATI tools, along with the School of Nursing
(SON) curriculum, assist students to prepare more efficiently and increase confidence
and familiarity with nursing content.

3. Data from student testing and remediation can be used for the SON’s quality
improvement and outcome evaluation.

4. ATI information and orientation resources can be accessed from the ATI student home
page. It is highly recommended that students spend time navigating the valuable
orientation materials found on the student home page.

Policy
1. The SON will consistently utilize the ATI content, including tutorials, practice exams,
proctored exams and evaluation processes at all nursing levels within the SON prelicensure BSN curriculum, and foster faculty support.

2. ATI proctored exams will be scheduled as an ‘in lab” proctored exam. The exam should
be scheduled prior to the end of the semester to allow for review of outcomes and
completion of remediation as necessary.

3. The SON will foster a culture of student accountability for using ATI exams, focused
reviews/remediation, and other learning resources (ATI online student resources, ATI
Live Review).
