Admission Offer
Once the applicant is recommended for admission and approved by the dean, 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.
Placement Fee
A one-time, non-refundable $50 placement fee is required upon admission acceptance that secures the student’s seat for matriculation.
Initial 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 the GSBS Catalog.
Once the placement fee is received, the GSBS office sends the incoming student the following information:
- Official letter of admission including the mandatory student orientation session date and fall semester start date.
- List of mandatory trainings; such as, Safety Training Education Program for Students (STEPS), Laboratory Safety Trainings, and HIPAA Privacy & Security Training.
- Immunization requirements.
