Admissions
Admissions at El Paso Community College
Competitive.
- No specific stated acceptance or admission rate (%) is published on EPCC’s official nursing or health programs pages—no verified statistic found.
- Admissions process is competitive and conducted via a ranking system:
- Students must first be admitted to EPCC as academic credit students.
- They then go through “ranking” for selection into the nursing programs, occurring twice yearly for most tracks (AAS, LVN-to-RN, traditional VN); one ranking per year for the evening/weekend VN track.
- VN graduates entering the LVN-to-RN Transition track immediately after graduation do not need to rank.
- Minimum cumulative EPCC GPA required to qualify for ranking: 2.5
- All required courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
- Official transcripts (including any foreign transcript translations) must be submitted.
- A counseling/advising session with a designated Nursing Counselor must occur no later than six months prior to ranking.
- Required TEAS (ATI Test of Essential Academic Skills) threshold:
- Minimum composite score of 62% is required (must include all four subject areas—Reading, Math, English & Language Usage, Science—from one testing session).
- Composite score valid for two years; only the most recent score is considered.
- Up to four attempts allowed, with a 21-day waiting period between attempts; after four unsuccessful attempts, must wait six months before retesting.
