Tuition & Payment Options

Pursuing a post-secondary education is a significant investment in your future. Students may use personal resources to cover educational expenses and additional funding options may be available for those who qualify.

Each course has a specific tuition due date. Students are permitted to make partial payments up until the final due date. For instance, if you are enrolled in the Rope Rescue Operations course, you may submit partial payments until the registration deadline. Please note that only the registration fee is required at the time of application to secure your seat in the class. However, additional steps may be necessary to retain your seat. Be sure to regularly check your email for important updates and communications from CSRIPS.

Alternative Loans

If you have utilized all other forms of financial aid and still require additional funding to pay your education, banks and other lending corporations make available education loans which require you and sometimes a co-signer to pass a credit check. These loans vary according to each lender. You should look into them closely before committing to a particular lender in order to determine your responsibilities according to their terms and conditions.

Sallie Mae Loans

The Coral Springs Regional Institute of Public Safety is now approved to receive payment from Sallie Mae. CSRIPS will only accept payment for the tuition; no Sallie Mae funds will be applied to fees for EMT, Paramedic and/or Fire classes.
