Student Financial Responsibility

Students are ultimately responsible for any and all costs associated with their course. This may include but is not limited to:

  • LMS parking
  • Uniforms
  • Equipment and fees

Elizabethtown Community Hospital Paramedic Program reserves the right to alter the tuition and fee schedule at its discretion.

Upon acceptance into the program, the candidate will accept their receipt and submit a deposit for $500.00. This fee will be applied to the overall fees of the program.  

Tuition Reimbursement

Tuition support from NYS DOH BEMS can only be provided for active members of certified NYS DOH EMS agencies which have a valid PCR agency code and participate in the PCR system. Students not affiliated with an EMS agency by the start date of the class are NOT eligible for tuition support from NYS DOH BEMS.

It is a common misconception that funding originates with the student’s agency.  Unless specific paperwork has been filed with Elizabethtown Community Hospital Paramedic Program to defer financial responsibility for tuition, the agency is not accountable for any balance due.
