ECHS New Student Orientation

ECHS Students: With the support of the Enrollment Services division, the ECHS Academic Success Center is here to support your transition to the University as you finalize your studies at El Paso Community College. Two ECHS New Student Orientation sessions are held per year; one in the Fall, to support accelerated ECHS seniors who will be starting at UTEP in the Spring, and a session in the Spring for accelerated juniors who will start over the next Fall term. Traditional seniors are encouraged to register for an Orientation session during the Spring semester of their Senior year. 

We strongly encourage you to consider the information on this page carefully, and to be on the lookout for our campus visits with the assistance of your ECHS counselor. This page will be updated every semester, with new dates and deadlines for the next ECHS New Student Orientation session. See you soon!

This orientation session will be held for accelerated students, who will be starting at UTEP in Fall 2023 as high school seniors. You must complete the ApplyTexas process in advance of your orientation session, with a deadline of February 15, 2023.

Your UTEP ECHS Program Coordinator/Manager will be scheduling a presentation to share information about New Student Orientation, the Goldmine System, and to confirm your major. For more information on selecting your major, and for a complete list of available programs, please visit this page.
