The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) offers self-paced courses designed for people who have emergency management responsibilities and the general public. All are offered free-of-charge to those who qualify for enrollment.
Independent Study Exams now require a FEMA Student Identification (SID) Number. If you do not yet have a SID, register for one today: https://cdp.dhs.gov/femasid. Please do not contact the Independent Study program office as they are unable to provide assistance with these requests.
Student Portal
If you experience difficulties accessing the Student Portal, please visit the FEMA SID website, login and check your profile for accuracy. If you are having trouble accessing your SID profile, contact the SID Help Desk.
If you notice discrepancies with your transcript, it is possible that you may have course completions listed under two separate SID numbers and can be remedied by merging SID accounts using the following process:
First contact the SID Help Desk for assistance with merging SIDs into a single account.
Contact the ISP Help Desk at (301) 447-1200 or Independent.Study@fema.dhs.gov for assistance with merging course completion data into a single student profile.
FEMA Student Identification (SID) Number
If you have forgotten your SID, go to the Retrieve Your FEMA SID web page to have your SID sent to your registered email address.
If you are having other issues with your SID account, please contact the SID Help Desk for assistance.
