As a new student at EPCC, you have taken an important step towards your future. All incoming freshman must attend a New Student Orientation (NSO) after admission into El Paso Community College. You will be scheduled for the NSO once you complete your placement test (Accuplacer) in reading, writing and math. Orientation sessions are scheduled several times a week at all of our campus locations.
