Thank you for your patience over the last few months as we’ve had to adjust our classes in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Some of our programs from the 2019-2020 academic year have extended to the 2020-2021 academic year. You can view your schedule for classes beginning in August 2020 through your student hub.
Please note: Schedules and on-campus times may shift if the CDC, CDPHE, DPS, or CDHE change guidelines.
If you are on a payment plan, please continue to make payments as scheduled. If you’d like to discuss options for extending your payment plan, email treasury@emilygriffith.edu.
If your financial aid is impacted by the schedule changes, the Financial Aid department will notify you via email.

Reuben Alcantar is a student in the Commercial/Residential HVAC & Refrigeration program. Rueben will complete his certificate this month and is already filing the paperwork to start his own HVAC business!
He decided to attend Emily Griffith after he was laid off from his job as a welder for Northwest Pipe Company when the company decided to close its Denver facility. He was eligible for a Trade Adjustment Assistance grant and after helping his neighbor with some HVAC work, decided he wanted to make it his new career.
He chose Emily Griffith because we understood his specific needs, particularly regarding childcare for his 7-year-old daughter. He also appreciates the hands-on experience that he’s received. “Mr. G is excellent. One of the most patient teachers I’ve ever had,” says Reuben. “He will sit and explain things to you; he knows how to translate the information.”
Vince Guerrie, HVAC instructor, says of Rueben, “He’s a natural leader. He always steps up to help. He’s going to be very successful.”
Rueben is looking forward to starting his own business and being his own boss. He hopes to be able to spend more time with his family but he says he will miss coming to Emily Griffith every day.
Congratulations Reuben!
