Cancellation and refund policy: STUDENT’S RIGHT TO CANCEL
Students are required to submit a two hundred dollar ($200.00) registration fee as a condition of registration for the Initial Certification Program for EMT-Basic. Cancellation of attendance in this program will allow the student a full refund only if cancellation is made Ten (10) working days prior to the start date of the class in which the student has registered. If cancellation is made less than ten working days prior to the start date of the course, the registration fee is considered non- refundable. Cancellation is defined as sending a date verifiable e-mail to the CIEMT course program directors e-mail address. If the provisions of cancellation described herein are not met the registration fee is considered non-refundable. (Matthew Goodman CIEMT Program Director, 562 989-1520, Admin@CIEMT.COM)
Student Services:
Student services at the CIEMT consist of both a reference library and online web access at the school, to broaden student research options. If necessary, academic counseling will be provided at no cost to the student at the start of the second week and third week of the Initial Certification Program for Emergency Medical Technician course. The need for counseling and subsequent tutorial recommendations will be determined by a thorough review of both academic grades on daily quizzes and practical skills performance evaluation. Tutoring will be available for a nominal fee ($15 per Hour) by qualified CIEMT instructors, approved and designated by the program director. All other required material including the EMS policies guide to Los Angeles County scope of practice will be provided by the CIEMT at no additional cost to the student.
The CIEMT refund policy for the unused portion of tuition fees: Students who withdraw from the Initial Certification Program for EMT and have completed 60 percent or less of the course a refund shall be calculated as follows: (if the student has attended more than 60 percent of the course no refund will be due.)
- A registration fee of $200 dollars will be deducted from the total tuition.
- The remaining figure will be divided by the number of hours in the program.
- The sum arrived at through the calculations of #2 is the hourly charge for the program.
- The amount owed by the student for the purposes of calculating a refund is derived by multiplying the total hours of instruction by the hourly charge for instruction plus the amount of the registration fee.
- The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in #4 that was paid by the student.
- If the student has attended greater than 60% of the CIEMT EMT-Basic course tuition will not be refunded.
- 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 2023
Example: If a student withdraws from the CIEMT EMT course after attending 75 hours of program, the refund of tuition would be calculated as follows:
- $1110.00 Course Fee – $2.50 STRF – $250.00 Registration Fee =$857.50
- $857.50 divided by the number of hours in the program 146 Hrs = $5.87 an hourly charge for the program.
- The amount owed by the student would be the hours in which the student attended the course 75 hours X the hourly charge $5.87 = $440.25 plus the registration fee of $250.00 equaling a student owed amount of $690.25
- The amount in excess and refund to the student would be tuition amount $1110.00 – $690.25 the amount owed by the student, which would equal a refund amount paid to the student of $419.75.
If the institution sent the first lesson and materials before an effective cancellation notice was received, the institution shall make a refund within 45 days after the student’s return of the materials.
Student Tuition Recovery Fund
“The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.
You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.”
(b) In addition to the statement required under subdivision (a) of this section, a qualifying institution shall include the following statement in its school catalog: “It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95833, (916) 431-6959 or (888) 370-7589.
To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:
- The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau.
- You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued.
- You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure.
- The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.
- The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs.
- You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution.
- You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans.
To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event that made the student eligible for recovery from STRF.
A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of non-collection may, at any time, file a written application for recovery from STRF for the debt that would have otherwise been eligible for recovery.
If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by another act of law.
However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.”
If the Student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. Cancellation or withdraw from the program is defined as ether directly speaking to the CIEMT course program director or sending a date verifiable e-mail to the CIEMT course program directors e-mail address. If the provisions of cancellation described herein are not met the deposit is considered non- refundable. (Matt Goodman, CIEMT Program Director, 562 989-1520, ADNIN@CIEMT.COM)
If the student is eligible for a student loan and the student defaults on a federal or state loan, both of the following may occur: The federal or state government or loan guarantee agency may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan. The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid. If the student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount any refund.

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.
- A registration fee of $250 dollars will be deducted from the total tuition.
- 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).
- 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.
- The sum arrived at through the calculation of #2 is the cost per hour for the training.
- 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.
- The refund shall be any amount in excess of the figure derived in #4.
- The student must exercise his or her right to cancel or withdraw before 60% of the Hybrid EMT Program is completed.
- 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:
- $1158.53 Course Fee – $2.50 STRF – $250.00 Registration Fee =$906.53
- $906.53 divided by the number of hours in the program 179 Hrs. = $5.06 per hour.
- The amount owed by the student would be 86.1 hours X the hourly rate of $5.06 = $435.66 plus the registration fee of $250.00 equaling a student owed amount of $685.66
- The amount in excess and refund to the student would be tuition amount $1158.53 – $685.66 the amount owed by the student, which would equal a refund amount paid to the student of $472.87
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.

Student further agrees to:(1) follow Agency’s policies, procedures and work rules;(ii) follow Agency’s instruction and direction with respect to patient care, safety, personal protection; and, abide by Agency rules and direction.

Attendance/Testing Standards/Rules and Regulations
This is a Hybrid course and content is cumulative in nature. To succeed, students must keep up with the online course work and attend all assigned Skill Days and Online classroom sessions. While online work can be done at the students chosen time, attendance for all of the Skill Days and Online classroom sessions is MANDATORY! Students MUST ARRANGE THEIR SCHEDULE TO ATTEND THESE MANDATORY SESSIONS.
- Missing any of the Skill Days will result in being dismissed from the course. Being more than 30 minutes late for a Skill Day is considered missing the entire day and will result in dismissal from the Hybrid EMT Program.
- Use of cell phones or text messaging during class time is strictly prohibited. Using a cell phone during Instructional time on either the Skill Days (except at scheduled breaks) will result in you being dropped from the Hybrid EMT Program.
- CIEMT is a no tolerance school when it comes to violence and sexual harassment. Any violence or documented sexual harassment directed toward instructors or students is cause for dismissal.
Leave-of-absence Policy: Because of the nature of the course, students are not allowed a leave-of –absence. If something occurs and the student is not able to complete the course they are enrolled in, they can drop the class and receive their pro-rated refund if they drop before the 60% point in the course. Under certain circumstances, and only at the discretion of the Program Director and the Hybrid EMT course Instructor, a student in the Hybrid EMT Course may be allowed to “roll out” of the class they are in and apply their refund to a future class (within 6 months of the course the student dropped) . They can then “enroll” in that future course restarting where they left off at the time they rolled out and receive credit for the time already spent in the prior course. Should a student choose this option there will be a $250.00 “Registration Fee” when they re-enroll. All skills session for the new course must be attended as part of this agreement.
Dismissal Policies: If a student is absent for one of the Skill Days they will be dismissed from the program. If the absence occurs prior to the 60% of the course the student will be issued a prorated refund. If the absence occurs after the refund cut off day, no refund will be issued. If the student is dismissed for using a cell phone during class time, documented violence and/or sexual harassment, the above refund policy will apply. An absence will be defined as being more than 30 minutes late for a Skill Day.
Grading Policy for the Hybrid EMT Course
