Paramedic and Paramedic Technician Petition Requirements 2024-2025

As soon as students are placed into a pre-program status, they will be added to a program-specific Petition Workshop via BlackBoard. This workshop is mandatory and will provide additional insight into the program as well as institutional resources and advisor support. Students must log into BlackBoard to review what is required for completion of the workshop.

Proof of a current (unexpired) State of WI EMT-Basic (or higher) license must be submitted to EnrollmentServices@madisoncollege.edu.

After completing the licensure requirement, you should complete the course requirement.

A grade of C or better is required; a grade of C- will not be accepted.

• Introduction to Paramedicine (10531910)

Your Degree Progress Report will determine if you have met the petition requirements. Completion will be identified by transfer credit, test scores, final grades, or an in-progress enrollment status. Review the Petition Process for additional details on how and when to petition.

During the course of the program, you must demonstrate the ability to perform these essential functions safely, reliably and efficiently within the scope of practice. If you need accommodations to help you perform these functions, contact our Disability Resource Services office.

Approximately 15 business days after the close of the priority window, students are sent a letter or email with the decision and next steps. All decisions regarding selection are final and cannot be appealed. You may register for core program courses only if you are awarded a seat.

If awarded a seat, you will receive instructions regarding the below required items. If you do not complete the required items, it may result in losing your seat and starting the application process from the beginning.

• Attend a mandatory orientation.
• Health history: Submit lab results and vaccination information from your healthcare provider.
• Background Information Disclosure and Criminal History Check (CHC). An acceptable background check is required prior to placement in the field. Information obtained from the CHC may affect your ability to secure a WI EMS Training Permit. Under no circumstances are Paramedic and Paramedic Technician program students assigned to a clinical area until all requirements are met. More detailed information on the Health History and Criminal History Check will be provided at the orientation.
• Enrollment in core program courses. Students who are awarded a seat are expected to start the core program courses for the awarded term. Students who choose not to begin the core program courses or are not able to begin core program courses may be discontinued from pre-program status.
