The CIEMT refund policy for the Hybrid EMT Program: Students who withdraw from the Hybrid EMT Program prior to the 60 percent point (prior to the start of Skills Session # 2) of the course will receive a prorated refund calculated as follows.
1. A registration fee of $200 dollars will be deducted from the total tuition.
2. An electronic textbook fee of $157.17 is non-refundable if the access code has been used. The code, once used, belongs to the student and is valid for 12 months on the JBL platform (not course).
3. The remaining figure will be divided by the number of expected hours spent in the program. Each “Section” of the Hybrid EMT Program will be assigned a number of hours based upon estimated time needed to complete each section. The course consists of 183 hours of instruction over a 10-week period. You will spend on average 18.3 hours per week or 2.61 hours per day.
4. The sum arrived at through the calculation of #2 is the cost per hour for the training.
5. The amount owed by the student is derived by multiplying the total expected hours spent in the Hybrid program by the hourly charge for instruction plus the amount of the registration fee and materials fee.
6. The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in #4.
7. The student must exercise his or her right to cancel or withdraw before 60% of the Hybrid EMT Program is completed.
8. The student must exercise his or her right to cancel or withdraw before attending skills day 2. For your EMT program the date will be __________________20
Example: A student withdraws from the CIEMT HYBRID EMT course on Friday of Week 5 in the course. This is day 33 of the course or 86.1 hours into the course. The refund of tuition would be calculated as follows:
Example: A student withdraws from the CIEMT HYBRID EMT course on Friday of Week 5 in the course. This is day 33 of the course or 86.1 hours into the course. The refund of tuition would be calculated as follows:
1. $1158.53 Course Fee – $200.00 Registration Fee =$958.53
2. $958.53 divided by the number of hours in the program 179 Hrs. = $5.35 per hour.
3. The amount owed by the student would be 86.1 hours X the hourly rate of $5.35 = $460.35 plus the registration fee of $200.00 equaling a student owed amount of $660.35
4. The amount in excess and refund to the student would be tuition amount $1158.53 – $660.35 the amount owed by the student, which would equal a refund amount paid to the student of $498.18
Note: Students that reach the 60 percent point (by the start of Skill Session #2) in the Hybrid EMT Program will receive no refund. To officially withdraw from the course the student MUST send date verifiable e-mail to the CIEMT course program directors e-mail address admin@ciemt.com.
