RC Health Services
EMT Student Handbook
Revised 04/2024 ALN
RC Health Services is an emergency services training company that was developed by EMTs and Paramedics for
Emergency Medical Service personnel, as well as firefighters, fire recruits, and those who plan to continue on
in the Medical field. As professional EMTs we understand the difficulty of trying to obtain EMS certification,
and professional development training. A group of EMTs and Paramedics with many years of EMS education
experience has developed these programs with those problems in mind. We wanted to make an EMS training
program that would surpass all others, better equip the students with the facts and knowledge to pass the
NREMT Exam.

We hope your time spent here at RC Health Services is one filled with the energy to learn and absorb all that
you can to make yourself a successful professional in EMS.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. We are all here to serve you.

The faculty, staff, and administration are all excited about the coming program year and we want each of
you to be successful.

Sincerely,

Robert Chambers, RN Hedy Chambers

Statement of Mission

RC Health Services Emergency Medical Services Training is a private EMS training program. The program affords
opportunities for individual growth and expression and promotes the development of the total person through
scholarly and creative activity and the application of knowledge for the good of society. Its curriculum lays a
foundation for lifelong learning, involves citizenship and encourages the pursuit of knowledge, innovation,
experimentation, and excellence in human endeavor. It prepares the students for entry-level positions and for
advancement in the EMS profession.

RC Health Services is an institution that emphasizes personal attention to students, innovation and flexibility in
its non-credit offerings, and responsiveness to the diversity of the communities it serves. The program is
dedicated to providing an educational environment that recognizes individuality, stresses the importance of
human relationships, and reflects the ever-changing values and science in the medical field of study. Our
ultimate goal is to produce compassionate, “street ready” EMS Professionals to provide the very best patient
care possible. After all, our patients deserve the very best.
Policies and Procedures
Non-Discriminatory Policy to Students
RC Health Services admits students of either sex and of any age, race, color, national/ ethnic origin, sexual
orientation or disability and extends to all, without discrimination, the rights, privileges, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students enrolled in our program. It does not discriminate on the basis of sex,
age, race, color, national/ethnic origin, sexual orientation or disability in administration of its educational
policies, admission policies, or other administered programs.

RC Health Services does not “screen” students and allows entrance to all students who wish to take the course.
Students must be aware; however, that class attendance does not guarantee EMT certification in any State. In
order to proceed in the EMT certification process, the student must receive a Course Completion Certificate
from RC Health Services. This requires the student to master the course material with a minimum of a 70%
average and be able to perform and pass all of the required didactic components, complete all clinical rotations
successfully, and successfully pass the Oral Board. Attendance and attitude are also considered. The student
must also be able to perform as per the Functional Position Description for the specific level at which the
student is enrolled. The student may be denied a Course Completion Certificate if any of these requirements is
not met. Upon successful completion of the course requirements and upon receiving a course completion
certificate, the student will then be required to sit for and pass the National Registry Cognitive Computer Based
Examination in order to receive NREMT Certification for the level in which they have completed. The student
must also meet their respective State EMS Agency and NREMT requirements to become certified. Nationwide
EMT students will have to apply for reciprocity through their home state. It is the student’s responsibility to
make sure their state accepts NREMT reciprocity from an approved out of state EMT Program.

Note on Accommodations
RC Health Services is able to make certain accommodations based on a student’s documented needs. The
student must turn in written documentation from their Psychologist/Psychiatrist in order for accommodations
to be made. RC Health Services is not allowed to make certain accommodations per State and National Registry
Guidelines. Each case will be evaluated individually, and a determination will be made based on the student.
The NREMT will make certain accommodations for students attempting the Computer Based Exam. Those can
be found at www.nremt.org.

Both the ability to read and the ability to perform skills within time frames are essential functions for an EMT.
Therefore, in EMS, a person with a disability may not be denied the opportunity to take an examination; but
this person shall be required to take a written exam and pass the skills proficiency verifications within
established criteria.

Students will also complete a background check/drug screening in order to be eligible to attend Clinical
Rotations. RC Health Services does not discriminate based on the background check, however, be advised that
certain clinical affiliates will not allow students with certain criminal histories to attend rotations at their
facility. This may also affect employment and certification in the future.

Closing and Suspension of Activities


The Program Director is responsible for suspending program activities or closing of any program facility due to
weather, transportation, or other emergency conditions. Notice of suspended instruction or the closing of
facilities shall be posted on the program’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/rchealthservices and emailed to
the student. In the event of cancellation of classes, the classes missed may be made up by holding classes on
weekends, evenings, and/or holidays or by extending the calendar ending any session.
Delinquent Accounts and Records
Students are required to complete all admission records, to return all program-owned property, and to make
payment of tuition, fees, and fines owed to the program. Failure to do so may result in the deduction of grades
or the Course Completion Certificate being withheld. No student will be allowed to sit for their Final Exam until
their course is paid in full.

Your Financial Responsibility


As a condition of your enrollment, your tuition and fees are due at the time of registration and may be paid with
cash, credit card, or company billing. If you become delinquent regarding a returned check, tuition and fees, or
other unpaid balances, you may be administratively withdrawn from all classes with no opportunity of
reinstatement.

Credit Card Account Verification–Authorization


An individual who uses a credit card to pay tuition or fees authorizes RC Health Services to communicate with the
credit card issuer and/or financial institution for the limited purpose of verifying information related to the use of
the credit card at the program, such as verification of account number, verification of a transaction, or
verification of a student’s signature.

RC Health Services will not be responsible for multiple holds being placed on your credit card or debit card by
your bank or the card issuer.

Withdrawal from the Program


If a student chooses to withdraw from the program before the completion of the session for which he or she is
enrolled, the student is required to fill out an official withdrawal form. If the student withdraws from the course
themselves, they are still responsible for paying their tuition in full.

Drop Notification
If a student fails to meet their obligations, such as the six (6) month course expiration, as outlined by this
document, RC Health Services will send a drop letter by email to the student’s email address on file. The
student must notify RCHS of any changes to their email address. If RCHS receives no response to the issued
drop letter, it will assume that the letter was received and understood.
Refund Policy
No refund will be given for any course in the RC Health Services EMS Academy. If the student is dropped from
the course by RC Health Services EMS Training or withdraws from the course themselves, they are still
responsible for paying their tuition in full.

Course Prerequisites
Our program requires the following prerequisites:

x Student must be 18 years or older


x Completed Online Program Application
x Color copy of driver’s license or government-issued photo ID
x Ability to read, write, and comprehend English
x Nationwide students are responsible for determining whether or not their respective state accepts out of
state education with NREMT Reciprocity

Hybrid and Traditional Courses

The Hybrid EMT Program is EMT Students considered an extension of the Traditional Program. All policies and
procedures herein are applied to both the Hybrid and Traditional Student unless specified otherwise.

Attendance
Regular attendance is conducive to optimum educational achievement. Therefore, the student is expected to
attend all meetings of those classes in which he or she is enrolled. Whenever a student acquires more than
three (3) absences they will be dropped from the course.

For each absence the student accrues, mandatory make-up work must be submitted in the form of knowledge
objectives. The student will write out and define each knowledge objective for the chapter(s) they missed. This
does not excuse the absence or make up any hours. The student will not be allowed to sit for the Final Exam if
all make-up work is not turned in. No extensions will be granted if the student misses the Final Exam session.

Tardiness will not be tolerated. Students who arrive late, or request to leave early, cause a distraction to the
other students and disrupt the general learning environment. Being tardy three times will result in the student
receiving an absence. A tardy is defined as missing 15 minutes or more of class. For example: if the course starts
at 1800, and the student arrives at 1815 or later, that student will receive a tardy.

Students will also be expected to participate in class discussions and class functions and will be evaluated and
graded on their participation.

All Clinical Rotations must be attended at an RCHS-affiliated EMS Agency and/or Hospital. No rotations can
be done unless an affiliation agreement is filed with RCHS, the affiliate, and the respective state agency.
Students can not schedule themselves at agencies for field rides regardless if employed at said agency.

If you register for a Clinical rotation and need to cancel or reschedule, you are subject to a $50 rescheduling
fee and immediate suspension from the program until the fee is paid. If you do this a second time, you will be
charged a $100 rescheduling fee and be immediately suspended from the program until the fee is paid. If you
do this a third time, you will be immediately dismissed from the EMS Academy. Canceling a Clinical rotation
prevents other students from completing their Clinicals in a timely manner. Canceling or rescheduling a
Clinical will result in additional delays and will not extend your course expiration date.

Course Completion Certificate
Upon successful completion of the above listed requirements, the student will be issued a Course Completion
Certificate and be cleared to register for the National Registry Computer Based Examination. Nationwide
students will then apply for reciprocity through their home State. Each state may have extra requirements to
obtain certification.

Course Extensions
All RC Health Services Online EMT students have a total of six (6) months to complete all aspects of the Online
EMT Program as outlined by the Online Student Handbook. There are four (4) reasons that RC Health Services
will officially grant extensions to the student:

1. Workers Compensation Claim (must present documentation to the assigned Instructor).


2. Active Duty in the Armed Forces.
3. Service on a Jury (Bailiff Receipt required).
4. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA – documentation required).

As a professional organization, RC Health Services recognizes that other extenuating circumstances exist.
Extensions may be considered by the Course Coordinator, Course Director, or assigned Instructor on a case-by-
case basis and may require additional documentation. In order for an extension to happen, the following
conditions must be met:

Ɣ Tuition must be paid in full. If tuition is not paid in full, the student must pay the remainder of their
balance before applying for an extension.
Ɣ The Extension Request Form must be filled out and submitted before the student’s course expiration
date.
Ɣ The $200 Extension processing fee must be paid.
Ɣ The student must have completed Chapters 1-24, including all lectures and chapter quizzes, as
well as the Medical Exam.

All extensions granted by RC Health Services will be for 90 days. No EMT student will have their course
extended greater than 90 days after their six-month expiration. Some exceptions may be made at the
discretion of the Education Committee. In the event the student does not meet the new timeline, the student
will be removed from the course. They will be eligible for re- enrollment pending education committee
approval. However, they must start the course over as a new student and previous work will not transfer.
Student Responsibilities
Activity
Ɣ All students must submit their First Day Handouts to the Jones and Bartlett submission box within 7
days of receiving access to the course.
Ɣ All students must use their course access key issued to them within 30 days of purchase without
express written authorization from their lead instructor or risk being withdrawn from the program due
to inactivity. All students must be active in the course and progressing through chapters.
Ɣ All course components – (Didactic, Lab, and Clinical) must be completed within six (6) months.
Ɣ Activity is defined as communication with your instructor and access to the Navigate Program along with
chapter progression. If the student is inactive for 30 days, they are at risk of being withdrawn from the
Program. The student will be allowed to re-enroll as a new student and pay the returning student fee.

Physical Demands
RC Health Services EMS Academy students will be learning both the didactic and psychomotor aspects of being
in EMS. This will include, but not limited to, lifting, bending, kneeling, pushing, and pulling. It is important that
the student uses good technique and knows their own limits to reduce their chances of injuring themselves, the
patient, and others. The student may be expected to lift fifty (50) pounds of equipment and a minimum of 150
pounds during a team movement of a patient. RC Health Services will make every reasonable effort to
accommodate those students with a temporary or permanent disability, but the student must understand that
a certain physical demand requirement exists in the EMS profession and during course activities.

Language Proficiency
All RC Health Services EMS Training courses are conducted in English. There is currently no accommodation for
oral or written instruction/testing for students that speak English as a second language.

All students are required to have a valid email address for email communication to/from the instructor. It is
the student’s responsibility to update the instructor with any email address change as class communication is
routinely conducted via email. The student should provide an email account that is checked regularly
throughout the week.

Students are expected to bring their own computers or tablets with them to class for adding skills to FISDAP,
which is done during skills days.. Students are not permitted to use the computer during classroom instruction
unless granted permission by the instructor to add skills and /or patients to FISDAP. All students that utilize RCHS
equipment and networks must follow RCHS policies and procedures. The following actions are strictly
prohibited:

Ɣ Knowingly using an account, identification number, or password of another student or staff member
for something other than its intended purpose.
Ɣ Misusing RC Health Services’ computer equipment by falsifying or changing records or documents,
damaging programs, sending harassing or threatening material, or duplicating copyrighted software.
Ɣ Intentionally using RCHS computer resources to store, download, upload, display, print or email
computer images that are “obscene materials” and that are not directly related to, or required for, a
specific educational course or research project.
Ɣ Showing or sending messages, images, or cartoons that are sexually explicit or that demean a person
on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or religion
Ɣ Use of RC Health Services’ equipment or computer resources for commercial purposes or personal
financial gain.
Any student who violates this policy is subject to discipline by RC Health Services up to and including immediate
dismissal from the course.

Identification as a Student
The purpose of this policy is to regulate the distribution of information concerning RC Health Services, its
students, members, and patients. Protecting RC Health Services’ reputation and ensuring that a member’s
communication outside the organization reflects positively on the member as an individual, but also on RC
Health Services.

If the student posts any content online (written, vocal, or visual) which identifies them as a student and/or
member of RC Health Services EMS Training, and/or discusses anything related to RC Health Services EMS
Training, RC Health Services expects the student, at all times, to conduct themselves appropriately and
professionally and in a manner which is consistent with your student/membership and with RC Health Services
policies and procedures. Simply revealing the student name or visual image of the student in uniform is
sufficient to identify the student as an individual associated with RC Health Services.

The following matters will be treated as gross misconduct capable of disciplinary action:

Ɣ Revealing confidential information about RC Health Services, its patients or students and/or members
in a personal online posting. This might include revealing information relating to RC Health Services’
patients that is protected by HIPAA, business clients, plans, members, or internal discussions. Posting
any RCHS photograph, digital image or video/audio recording is strictly prohibited. Consult your
Instructor, Course Director, or Course Coordinator if you are unclear about what might be confidential.
Ɣ Disclosing any student’s and/or member’s home addresses or personal information that has not been
previously made public through legal means without the written consent of the member.
Ɣ The use of a blog to harass, threaten, libel or slander, malign, defame or disparage, or discriminate
against RC Health Services, its students and/or members, management, patients, vendors or suppliers,
any organizations associated with or doing business with RC Health Services or any members of the
public, including website visitors who post comments about blog contents.
Ɣ The use of the RCHS logo or trademarks or the name, logo, or trademarks of any business partner,
supplier, vendor, affiliate on any personal blogs or other online sites without prior authorization.
Ɣ Accessing or updating a personal blog from RCHS computers during working hours.

SOCIAL MEDIA EXPECTATIONS

The student should remember that any messages or information sent to one or more individuals via an
electronic network – for example, but not limited to, internet mailing lists, websites, Facebook or Twitter – that
identifies the student as a student and/or member of RC Health Services are statements that can taint the
organization’s reputation or services. The student should include the following disclaimer in all of the student
postings to public forums that may either identify you as a student and/or member of RCHS or can identify the
organization:

“The views, opinion, and judgments expressed in this message are solely those of the author and do not reflect
the views, policies, or goals of RC Health Services.”

If the student already has a personal blog or website which indicates in any manner that the student is affiliated
with RC Health Services, the student must include the disclaimer on the student’s personal blog or website.
Misconduct
Any violation of program policies or regulations may result in the students being placed on disciplinary warning,
disciplinary probation, or suspension (dismissal) and/or being subject to legal prosecution. Misconduct for which
students are subject to discipline includes but is not limited to the following:

Dishonesty
Dishonesty such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the program.(Plagiarism
and cheating refer to the use of unauthorized books, notes, or otherwise securing help during a test; copying
tests, assignments, reports, or term papers, or being in unauthorized places, such as offices or buildings after

supervised functions, or conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any such person.

Cheating and Plagiarism


The following policies and procedures concerning cheating and plagiarism are printed in this form for the
information of all students. The gaining of knowledge and the practice of honesty go hand-in-hand. The
importance of knowledge, properly gained, is emphasized by the grading system. The importance of honesty,
fully practiced, is emphasized by rules against cheating and plagiarism. Any act of cheating or plagiarism
subjects a student to disciplinary procedures listed below.

If, in the judgment of the instructor, cheating or plagiarism has occurred, the following penalties may be
assessed: Zero on paper/assignment/test or automatic removal from the course.

The instructor will notify the student of his/her decision concerning the student’s grade and whether further
disciplinary action, including suspension, has been recommended before filing the report as indicated below.
Should the instructor recommend suspension of the student, the Program Director and/or the Education
Committee has the responsibility and authority to determine whether the student will be removed from the
program.

Collusion
Collusion shall be defined as the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work for
fulfillment of course requirements.

Drugs and Alcohol


Use, possession, or distribution of alcohol, narcotics, or dangerous drugs on program-owned or controlled
property or program sponsored or supervised functions.

person submitting to the hazing.

Smoking/Tobacco use
Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, is only allowed outside in designated smoking areas. The
use of tobacco products, including dipping, is not allowed while on property.

This is the initial timeline for the RC Health Services Online EMS Program. Students should start at the
beginning of the Navigate Program and work through each chapter. RC Health Services recommends the
student use the Knowledge Objectives in the Lesson Outline for the student as a framework for each chapter.
The requirements for each chapter: read the chapter, complete the lecture, and complete the quiz. Additional
assignments are noted in Navigate. The student should reach out to their respective program lead for general
questions about any didactic material. Nationwide students will reach out via the student services support
portal. Georgia students will use the GA Email, Louisiana students will use the Louisiana email, and Hybrid or
Traditional students will use their respective instructor. Instructors are available Monday through Friday, from
0800- 2000 Central time, to answer questions and assist students.

The student is eligible for skills days as noted above. Students may register on the Student Website.

Each student is responsible for turning in their documents in an expeditious manner. All documents listed
above must be turned in to their respective program lead prior to taking the Final Exam. All documents must
be scanned (not photographed) and turned in as a PDF document. All other documents will be rejected. Label
these documents as ‘last name, first name, document name’.
After the student completes all 41 chapters, all skills practice and testing, and has turned in all appropriate
paperwork, they are eligible to attempt their final exam. Upon successful completion of the final exam, the
student will be given information on how to register for the drug screen, and to request their Clinical ID badge.
During this time, the student will complete their clinical orientation in the Navigate Program.

Once the student has successfully passed their drug screen, successfully completed clinical orientation, the
student may sit for their oral board examination. After successful completion of the oral board, the student will
be eligible to submit clinical availability.

You must remain available for all clinical dates requested until you have your official schedule. If you have to
cancel a day you chose, you could be subject to removal from the course along with a $50 no show fee.
Addendum: Georgia Guidelines

Georgia EMS Laws

The office of EMS and Trauma provides services mandated by the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated Title 31, Chapter 11, the Georgia Department of Public Health Rules and Regulations Chapter 511-
9-2 to license, re-license, and monitor Ambulance Services, Air Ambulance Services, Medical First Responders,
and Neonatal Transport Services; approve training course curriculum and requirements for the licensure and
re-licensure of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and (AEMT), and Paramedics and the re-license only of
Emergency Medical Technicians - Intermediate (EMT-I) and Cardiac Technicians (CT).

Your careful review of the rules is essential to begin a safe and lawful professional career. You will be asked
many questions about EMS, and the “ins” and “outs” of patient care, delegation, clinical limitation, and other
areas, most of which are covered directly or by reference in the rules. Your thorough knowledge of these rules
will enhance your ability to respond in an intelligent manner to each question.

Skills Requirements

Georgia students will complete an SMC Portfolio as they progress through their program. There will be a
medical skills day, a trauma skills day, a competency day, and a skills testing day.
Georgia students will be expected to keep track of their own skills manual which will be assigned on the
first skills day attended.

Clinical Requirements
Ambulance
Ɣ A minimum of 48 hours on an affiliated ambulance.
Ɣ A minimum of 20 patient care reports/contacts.
• Twelve (12) of these contacts are specific as in
• 2 Pediatric any age from 0-17

• 5 geriatric (65+)
• 10 of these patient transports must be done as a PCR in GEMSIS elite.
Ɣ Rotations in which the required hours were completed but no transports were made, must be
documented on a patient report form as “No patients/no transports”. 10 of your patient contacts
must be transports.
Ɣ If you do not have your 20 patient care reports/contacts, you must schedule more rotations until
you meet the requirements. Contact the Clinical Coordinator that scheduled your initial shifts for
assistance.
Ɣ Three evaluations – Evaluation of Student, Evaluation of Preceptor, Evaluation of Clinical Site – must
be completed for each shift, even if the student had the same Preceptor or Clinical Site for multiple
shifts. The evaluation of the student must be uploaded with the preceptor signature.
Ɣ Clinical documentation to be uploaded to Fisdap. Documentation is not to be uploaded to the
Student Support Portal or emailed to any Instructor or Staff Member. Documents must be labeled
appropriately and uploaded to the correct Clinical shift in Fisdap.
Ɣ The shift must be locked within 48 hours, at which time an Instructor with the Student Services
Department will audit your documentation and your Course Completion Certificate will be issued, or
you will be notified what you are missing.
Ɣ Shifts not locked within 48 hours will be automatically locked and counted as an absence. If the
student is counted as absent, those clinical hours and contacts will not count towards
requirements.

Medical Skill requirements MUST be documented in FISDAP by end of course

Clinical Affiliate Contracts: If I am attempting to have a new clinical affiliate set up, I
understand that this will not affect my course expiration date, and I will not be granted an
extension based on any pending contracts.

Drug Testing: I understand that all students must have a negative drug screen, and that,
even if certain drugs are legal in the state that you live in, and/or allowed by prescription, that it
is up to the EMS Affiliate to allow or deny students based on their drug screen results. I
understand it is my responsibility to provide documentation regarding my prescription status,
and that the Student Services Department will review it and, if necessary, request additional
documentation.
Photography: Photographs are routinely taken at RC Health Services events, such as skills
practice days. These photographs are used for advertising and Social Media posts, and every
effort will be made to obscure the faces of the students involved. I understand that it is my
responsibility to notify my instructor that I do not wish to be included in any photographs.

Uniform Policy: I understand that I must follow the uniform policy, and that I must be in
uniform for all skills days and clinical rotations. I understand that if I arrive without the proper
uniform that I will be sent home and charged the Cancellation fee.

Background Investigation and Drug Screen Consent

I understand that RC Health Services EMS Academy may perform a background investigation to
determine my suitability for the course I seek; I hereby authorize the Company to secure the
information necessary to make such a decision. I further understand that while acceptance into the
Program might precede any such investigation, actual progression through the Program is contingent
upon a determination of my suitability for the Program I seek.

By signing this document, I authorize the Program to conduct a background investigation through EBI or
an equivalent background investigation service. I also certify that the information provided in my
application is accurate, and, if accepted, I understand that any information falsely provided will be
sufficient grounds for the immediate removal from the program.

I hereby authorize the release of the information related to this investigation, and further release from
liability any and all individuals and organizations who provide information to RC Health Services EMS
Academy concerning my professional competence, ethics, character, criminal record (if any), and
qualifications and authorize my prior employers to release any such requested information about my
employment.

Please note: You will not be allowed to progress in the course if you do not provide the authorization for
the Program to conduct the background investigation identified above. Date of birth, Social Security
number, current zip code, email address, and Driver’s License number will be used only to complete the
background investigation and will not become part of the selection process.

Federal Law prohibits any discrimination. Date of birth is used for verification purposes only and is not
released to the hiring official or search committee prior to an individual’s acceptance of employment.
Results will be kept confidential but may be communicated as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act
or other applicable state or federal law.

By my signature below, I consent to provide a sample of my urine and/or blood for a 10 panel drug
screen testing to determine the presence of drugs in my body. I am familiar with my training institution’s
policies on substance abuse and drug testing and I understand and agree that unless the sample I
provide tests negative, I will be subject to dismissal from the RCHS EMS Academy.

I understand that the drug testing intended to be performed may include the following:
• Amphetamines
• Barbiturates
• Benzodiazepines
• Cocaine
• Marijuana Metabolites
• Methadone
• Methaqualone
• Opiate Metabolites
• Phencyclidine
• Propoxyphene, Demerol, or Oxycotin

In order to avoid false positive results, it is recommended that I avoid foods with poppy seeds within 72
hours prior to testing. In addition, it is recommended that I not drink liquids in excess of 40 ounces
within three (3) hours prior to providing a sample of blood and/or urine for testing. I understand these
recommendations and that if my sample is reported as "diluted", it will be treated as a positive result. At
that time, I understand I have the opportunity to retest within 48 hours at my own expense. If the
subsequent test is negative, RC Health Services will reimburse me for the cost of the test. I understand
that if I so desire, I may—at my expense—request a sample of my blood to be collected at the same
time as the collection of my urine sample for subsequent testing. I also understand that I may request a
copy of the drug testing policy for reference. I also understand and agree that the results of this testing
will be shared with my instructors, clinical affiliates upon their request, and others with a need to know
of this information in the performance of their jobs, or as otherwise required by law.

If signing electronically: By typing your name below, you are signing this Agreement electronically. You
agree your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your manual/handwritten signature on this
Agreement. By typing your name below using any device, means or action, you consent to the legally
binding terms and conditions of this Agreement. You further agree that your signature on this document
is as valid as if you signed the document in writing. You also agree that no certification authority or
other third-party verification is necessary to validate your E-Signature, and that the lack of such
certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your E-Signature or
any resulting agreement between you and RC Health Services. You are also confirming that you are the
student authorized to enter into this Agreement.
