Transfer Students

If you have previously attended any college or university other than Miami Dade College, you must arrange for that institution to send official transcripts to the Emergency Medical Services Program at the Medical Campus within 30 days of the beginning of the semester of planned enrollment.

For students that transfer credits into the Associate of Science in Emergency Medical Services Degree at Miami Dade College to be eligible for graduation from this program, the following college requirements must be met:

1. Complete at least 15 of the last 30 credits applied towards the degree at Miami Dade College
2. Complete a minimum of 24 credits in discipline related courses (courses with EMS prefix) at Miami Dade College for the Associate of Science degree programs.

Students who have attended foreign colleges must submit original transcripts and a certified English translation before February 1st to the Registrar at the Medical Campus for evaluation. For details, please call 305-237-4141. Students who have attended a foreign allied health or nursing program should consult the Miami Dade College catalog for more information about how to have their transcripts, diplomas, and credentials evaluated for U.S. equivalency.

It is highly recommended that applicants which received non-collegial training for Emergency Medical Technician and/or Paramedic contact and meet with an EMS department representative at the Medical Campus.  This meeting should take place prior to beginning enrollment in the Associate Degree in Emergency Medical Services to ensure transferability of the coursework completed for the EMT and Paramedic training.
