Coastline has collaborated with BHMT to offer certificate and degree programs to eligible participants with no out-of-pocket cost.
A maximum of $5250 per calendar year will be paid directly to Coastline College on your behalf. If the full $5250 is available, no out-of-pocket cost is required for this option. BHMT will use your available KP tuition reimbursement funds for eligible expenses.
Residents of California may be responsible for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if this charge exceeds the annual $5,250 tuition cap. The STRF is a fund administered by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education that relieves or mitigates economic loss suffered by a student while enrolled in a qualifying institution. The STRF assessment rate is two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges.

Successful Course Completion
For continued success in BHMT programs you need to receive a passing grade of C or better for each course you complete and you must meet any program/school specific requirements. This ensures you comply with the BHMT Academic Suspension policy you agreed to as part of the BHMT Beneficiary Agreement. For more information about the suspension process, refer to the BHMT Beneficiary Agreement.

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: BHMT partner school with benefits (maximum of $16,500 for RN-BSN programs, $5250 for degree programs, 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?
The Trust will recover tuition reimbursement eligible expenses to the maximum available. Should an individual not have sufficient funds to cover the expenses or should the classes exceed the regional maximum, the Trust will bear the expense.
If you need to withdraw from a class outside of the add/drop window, you will need to meet with your school’s representative to officially withdraw from the course. By withdrawing from the course, you will receive a grade of “W” on your transcript and BHMT is still financially responsible to pay for the class. 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.
Per BHMT’s student agreement, a grade of “W”, “I”, or below a “C” will result in a BHMT academic suspension. Failing to earn any grade your program requires for passing is considered an unsuccessful grade and will result in a BHMT academic suspension. You will be notified via email regarding your next steps, which include working with an Academic Success Coach to complete a plan for the suspension to be released. Depending on the number of suspensions you have received, your wait time to resume classes in your degree will vary.
