New Student Orientation

After admission into El Paso Community College and placement requirements are completed, all students must participate in a New Student Orientation (NSO). Orientation is an opportunity to get off to a good start and become familiar with the many programs and services at EPCC. Our mission is to give you the essential knowledge of what is available to you and provide guidance to help you in achieving your goals.

You can sign up for a New Student Orientation session by phone, email, at our office or any Testing Center.
