Applicants who submit only part of an application or are missing required documents will not be processed, must reapply to the program, and repay the limited access application fee once all requirements are met.
Applicants who are offered a seat in the program and fail to respond by the date indicated on the offer letter or who fail to enroll for the term for which admission is offered must reapply for a future date.
Applicants who meet minimum requirements as of the deadline date will be ranked based upon overall GPA and length of verified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) employment. Residents of Pasco and Hernando Counties or those employed as EMTs in a fire department in Pasco or Hernando counties will receive preference over out-of-county residents.
