Raven EMS Education Program Manual
Section 5.25 - Course Fees and Refunds

Course fees will be established and published with course announcements or with a link to the detailed fees below. At a minimum, 50% of course fees will be due by the first day of class.

Payments can be made by:

VA Delayed Payment Compliance Policy

Raven Medical, Inc. will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a student borrow additional funds to cover the student’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement of a payment by the US Department of Veterans Affairs.

Standard Program Fees

These are subject to change, refer to specific course announcements. An application fee of 10% is typically required to hold your spot in class and to pay for your background check and a textbook to be purchased and ready for the first day of class.

Individuals paying for their own tuition for these programs may be granted the option on a case-by-case basis for payment plans. Typically, at least 50% of the tuition is due on the first day of class and the remainder can be paid in monthly installments but the entire amount due (100% of the tuition) must be paid prior to certificates being issued and clearance being granted to take certification testing.

All refund requests must be made in writing or email to the Lead Instructor or Program Director. In the case of any refund, all course materials shall be returned by the student in good working order and able to be issued to another student.

Application Fee Refund Policy

Academy application fees are non-refundable. For all other courses, a full application fee refund will be made up to two weeks before the start date of the course. After that point and before the start date and time of the class, reimbursement will be refunded at 50%. No application fees will be returned after the start date and time of class.

Tuition Refund Policy

Refer to each Academy syllabi for specific tuition details. For all other courses, the deadline for tuition payment is the start date and time of the class. A full tuition fee refund will be made before the deadline. No tuition fees will be returned after the deadline.

Veterans Affairs Refund Policy

If a student is utilizing funding from Department of Veterans Affairs, this section applies. In essence, a refund will be made using the following formula: R=(A+T-U-$10)*P

A refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges will be made to veterans or eligible persons who fail to enter or fail to complete the course as required by Department of Veterans Affairs Regulations, CFR 21.4255. The refund will be within 10 percent of an exact pro rata refund. No more than $10 of the established registration fee will be retained if a veteran or eligible person fails to enter the course. Prompt Refund: The refunded amount shall be paid within 40 days.
