- You must first be accepted into the BHMT graduate academic certificate program. Start by contacting a Career Development Coach to work together on your Career Plan, maximize your benefits, and make sure your education supports your career goals.

Consider these factors:
Learning Readiness: To thrive in accelerated online classes, strong time management and regular engagement are essential. Confidently utilize your laptop and software and enhance your skills by reviewing the Academic Success Skill Learning Paths, Skills, and College Courses.
Cost: fully funded for certificate program vs non-partnered programs (KP TR $3000 per year plus out-of-pocket costs and/or other outside financial aid).
Time for school and program requirements: How much time will you need to study and complete program requirements (e.g., clinicals, field work)? What plans do you need to make to accommodate the new demands on your schedule?
A maximum of $5250 per calendar year will be paid directly to your chosen partner school from BHMT on your behalf. BHMT will recover your KP tuition reimbursement eligible expenses throughout the year as payments are made. Should you not have sufficient KP Tuition Reimbursement funds to cover the $5250 calendar year maximum, BHMT will bear the expense. Please work with your Academic Success Coach and your chosen partner school to see if you are responsible for any costs that exceed $5250 per calendar year.

Per BHMT’s student agreement, a grade of “W” will result in a BHMT academic suspension. You will be notified via email regarding your next steps. Also, feel free to reach out to your Academic Success Coach for support.
