New Student Orientation

Starting college is an exciting new chapter, and we’re here to help you begin your journey with confidence. At El Paso Community College, all new students are required to complete New Student Orientation after admission and placement are finalized.

During NSO, you’ll get everything you need to start strong at EPCC:

• Learn about Financial Aid and other support services available to you
• Explore academic resources, tutoring, and advising
• Get guidance on registration, testing, and student success tools

Our mission is simple: to make sure you feel prepared, connected, and inspired to achieve your goals at EPCC.

What to Bring on Orientation Day:

• Your Orientation Checklist
• Comfortable walking shoes (you’ll be exploring campus!)
• Any pending paperwork that still needs to be submitted
