Costs

EMT Certificate

The EMT Certificate Program requires a significant financial outlay (tuition and fees for credit hours, plus textbooks, workbooks and supplies), as well as a major time commitment (10 hours per week in class during the spring and fall, and 16 hours per week in class during the summer, with an additional 20–32 hours per week studying outside of the class.

A student will be dismissed from the course – and will not be reimbursed tuition, fees or other costs, for accumulating a combined total of more than 10 hours of absences or tardies, or scoring less than 80 percent on a total of three (3) exams or skills tests. Also, state and national exams require a fee. For more details, contact the EMT Service Center, 520-206-7839

The 2023-24 estimated program cost is based on in-state tuition for a full-time student.

*Additional expenses may be assessed depending on the student’s residency status, developmental coursework and enrollment status.

Payment

Students are responsible for buying the proper textbooks and being aware of classroom changes, etc., through MyPima. Students can learn what books are needed for courses by going to their Book List channel in MyPima or clicking on a course’s CRN in the online Schedule of Classes.

Students must observe tuition payment deadlines to avoid cancellation of registration due to nonpayment. Pima reserves the right to drop unpaid registrations at any time without prior notice.

Note: A student will NOT receive a tuition reimbursement if he is dismissed from or fails EMT 100, or if he withdraws from the course after the College drop deadline.
