Paramedic class graduation is annually in April and August. Contact Melissa Terpenning for the specific date, time, and location for the next graduation ceremony.

We will make every effort to have your certification cards available for you at that time. 

Required Immunizations

Immunizations:
All students must provide proof of the following immunizations:

    • Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap): Within the last 5 years.
    • Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR): Two doses after 1 year of age or a blood test showing immunity.
    • Hepatitis B: Documentation of either a 2-dose series of Heplisav-B or a 3-dose series of Engerix-B, PreHevbrio, or Recombivax HB. Antibody serology is required 1–2 months after the final dose.
    • Varicella (Chicken Pox): Proof of 2 vaccinations or immunity via a blood test (titer). Verbal confirmation is not accepted.
    • Influenza: One dose annually at the start of flu season (typically September or October). Pediatric rotations require this vaccination.
    • TB Test: Two negative results within the last 6 months, a negative Quantiferon Gold (QFT) test, or a negative T-SPOT blood test. Positive results require a chest x-ray.
  1. Background Check:
    A clear background check is mandatory for all students. This ensures compliance with clinical facility requirements and maintains the program's integrity.
  2. Physical examination by your physician.
  3. Drug Screening:
    A clean drug screen is required for program entry.
  4. Medical Marijuana: 

In accordance with UVU Policy 548, applicants to clinical programs must pass a drug test upon acceptance. Possession of a medical cannabis card, even in states where it is legal, does not exempt students from this requirement. Clinical programs reserve the right to conduct additional drug tests at any time during the program.

Additional Notes:

  • Pediatric rotations require an annual flu vaccination.
  • Other immunizations may be required as agency or infection control guidelines change.
