Admission Offer

Admission Offer

Once the FGSBS admissions committee recommends a candidate for admission, the FGSBS office emails the candidate through the online application system. The FGSBS office requests the candidate to long in to the applicant’s profile, accept the admission offer, and pay the placement fee before the established deadline. 

Upon admission, all students are subject to the requirements listed in the TTUHSC El Paso Institutional Student Handbook: Code of Professional and Academic Conduct, the L. Frederick Francis Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Student Handbook, and the L. Frederick Francis Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Student Catalog.

• Upon accepting admission to the FGSBS, students are responsible for the conduct exhibit from the time of admission through the actual awarding of a degree, even though conduct may occur outside the institution.
• Admission offers are contingent to student’s good standing with all the previous schools attended and current/past employeers.
• The FGSBS reserves the right to revoke admission to the FGSBS upon allegations of misconduct.
• Any offer of admission made under falsified information will be immediately revoked.

Placement Fee

The placement fee is a one-time, non-refundable $50 fee that is required upon acceptance of the admission offer which secures the student’s seat for matriculation.

Initial Matriculation

Once the placement fee is received, the FGSBS office sends the incoming student the following information:

• Mandatory student orientation session date.
• Fall semester start date.
• List of required trainings; such as, Safety Training Education Program for Students (STEPS), Laboratory Safety Trainings, and HIPAA Privacy & Security Training.
• Immunization requirements.
• List of classes for the student to register.
• Information regarding the mandatory student health insurance requirement.
• Parking registration information.

Initial matriculation takes place in the fall semester only.

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.
