Enrollment

Once the applicant is recommended for admission, an email will be sent to the email address on file requesting the applicant to log into the application system and accept the admission offer. A one-time, non-refundable $50 placement fee is required upon admission acceptance that secures the student’s seat for matriculation.

Initial matriculation takes place in the fall semester. Failure to register in the term for which admission is granted requires a readmission process. Graduate students are permitted to register at any time beginning the first day of advance registration.

Upon admission, all GSBS students are subject to the requirements listed in the TTUHSC El Paso Institutional Student Handbook: Code of Professional and Academic Conduct, the GSBS Student Handbook, and GSBS Catalog.

After submitting the placement fee, the GSBS main office will email new students the following information:

  1. New student orientation date.
  2. List of laboratory safety trainings.
  3. HIPAA Privacy & Security Training.
  4. Immunization requirements.
  5. And helpful links.
