WHY UTI STANDS OUT


Youve made a wise choice to pursue your technical education at Universal Technical Institute. Here are some of the reasons why UTI stands out:

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
UTI/MMI/NASCAR Tech sponsor and award approximately $10 million in tuition scholarships every year. The schools also sponsor numerous high school competition programs with organizations such as Ford/AAA and SkillsUSA as well as technical education scholarship programs such as Imagine America. In addition, UTI offers its own tuition-reduction scholarship programs to assist financially needy students, high school students who successfully compete in skills competitions, honorably discharged military veterans and dislocated workers. Please visit the UTI website at www. uti.edu/scholarships to view and download internal scholarship opportunities and applications. Each application states its criteria, award schedule and process to apply. All applicants are notified of award or denial via email. Due to restrictions in Pennsylvania law, internally sponsored institutional grant and scholarship programs are not available to students at the Exton campus (except the UTI National Testing Competition), or Pennsylvania residents attending any UTI campus. Each of three UTI National Testing Competition awards handed out each calendar year is worth a 25% tuition reduction. Awards are based on the highest scores in the competition. However, there are a number of programs available to Exton students through external sponsors and the UTI Foundation, a charitable organization devoted to assisting UTI students.

HISTORY
UTI was founded in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1965, with an automotive curriculum. Over the past four decades, the campus has grown from 11 students and a single building to a modern training facility that accommodates the Automotive Technology and Diesel & Industrial Technology training programs. In 2004, the campus relocated to a new 282,000-square-foot facility in Avondale, Arizona. Through the years, in a continuing effort to match student skills with the needs of the industry, UTI has developed and expanded with additional curriculum and campuses. In 1983, UTI opened a campus in Houston, Texas, that offers the Automotive Technology and Diesel & Industrial Technology training programs. In 1984, the Houston campus added additional space to accommodate an increasing number of students. In 1999, it expanded to house the Collision Repair & Refinish Technology program and additional space was added in 2001. In 2006, the campus added a new training elective, Nissan Automotive Technician Training (NATT).

WHY UTI STANDS OUT


SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT
UTIs campuses in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas collectively contain more than 1.5 million square feet of classrooms, labs and office space. Weve made significant investments in the latest vehicles, equipment and up-to-date facilities to give our students valuable hands-on training thats in demand with employers in the automotive, diesel and collision-repair industries. UTI training facilities encompass the following campuses: > Rancho Cucamonga, California, campus 50 classrooms, 8 labs and approximately 187,000 square feet of space > Sacramento, California, campus 48 classrooms, 12 labs and approximately 245,000 square feet of space > Orlando, Florida, campus 13 classrooms, 5 labs and approximately 105,000 square feet of space > Glendale Heights, Illinois, campus 45 classrooms, 15 labs and approximately 169,000 square feet of space > Norwood, Massachusetts, campus 53 classrooms, 8 labs and approximately 225,000 square feet of space > Exton, Pennsylvania, campus 51 classrooms, 26 labs and approximately 178,000 square feet of space > Houston, Texas, campus 64 classrooms, 18 labs and approximately 220,000 square feet of space All training areas have the required lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling and plumbing/sanitation facilities as determined by local requirements. Note: Any new UTI campus or program is required to graduate its first class before becoming eligible to receive NATEF accreditation. Therefore, not all programs may be NATEF accredited. Contact the Education Department at your campus for more information.

EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS
Before joining UTI, all instructors are required to have a combination of field experience and training sufficient to meet accreditation standards and regulations in the states in which the school is licensed or approved to operate. Due to their experience and training, UTI instructors are able to share information and insights with students that otherwise might take years to learn on the job. UTI updates its instructors through a variety of seminars and workshops that keep them abreast of new technology so they can pass that knowledge along to students. Instructors also continue their education and improve their teaching skills through training provided by the Center of Excellence in Education. All of UTIs Automotive Technology, Diesel & Industrial Technology and Collision Repair and Refinish instructors are required to be ASE certified in the areas they teach. Many UTI instructors are Master Certified and some have achieved the distinction of acquiring multiple Master Certifications.

MANUFACTURER-SPECIFIC ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAMS


UTIs Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training (MSAT) programs are for the following manufacturers: > BMW of North America, LLC > International Truck and Engine Corporation > MINI USA > Porsche Cars of North America, Inc. > Volvo Cars North America, LLC These programs offer qualified students the opportunity to train for challenging and rewarding careers with worldclass manufacturers. To qualify, students must interview successfully and meet the established GPA, attendance, driving record, drug testing, relocation and entrance-exam requirements. Also, MSAT applicants must have no felony convictions in order to qualify for admissions. To be eligible for acceptance into any Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training program, you must be a U.S. citizen or present a current visa. The effective period of the visa must cover the entire period of attendance, including the training program and dealership employment obligation. Tuition for these programs is sponsored by the manufacturer in accordance with established terms of employment.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
UTI maintains a curriculum development department to design and modify our programs according to industry needs. Working closely with industry advisory boards, curriculum development professionals determine the skills needed by technicians in todays job market and develop curriculum that will convey that knowledge. UTI experts with years of industry and teaching experience produce our course guides and laboratory assignments. Course guides are used in classroom activities, outside of class study, and during lab experiences. Supplemental textbooks are provided in up-to-date, easy-to-read formats for students to study, reinforcing material covered in assessments and labs.

NATEF ACCREDITATION
UTI is one of the few private career schools in the nation to offer Automotive Technology, Diesel & Industrial Technology, and Collision Repair & Refinish Technology programs that are accredited by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF), a non-profit organization that evaluates technician training programs against standards developed by the automotive industry.

www.UTI.edu

WHY UTI STANDS OUT


Note: These programs are not part of UTIs accreditation. Additionally, these programs are not regulated or approved by the Texas Workforce Commission. Program availability and locations vary.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM (TRIP)


Because the demand for UTI graduates is high, many companies participate in the Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program (TRIP). This program has been implemented to help companies attract and retain top technicians by offering our graduates tuition reimbursement. TRIP employers assist the graduates they hire by making all or a portion of their monthly student loan payments. These employers demonstrate a high level of commitment to the UTI graduates they hire while investing in their present and future technician workforces. Note: Not all employers participate in the TRIP program. Ask the Employment Services department for more information about participating companies.

CUSTOM TRAINING GROUP


UTIs Custom Training Group (CTG) designs and implements MSAT graduate training programs offered to qualified UTI graduates. CTG also delivers specialized training and consulting services to mass transit systems, fleet operations and automotive service providers. Working closely with automotive manufacturers, equipment suppliers and information services, CTG provides on-site technical training. CTG has provided technical services to companies such as Bridgestone/Firestone, Schlumberger, FedEx, Fluke, Southern California Edison, Delaware Transit Corporation, University of South Florida, International Training Institute for the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Industry, and New Flyer Industries.

ARTICULATION OPPORTUNITIES
UTI strongly supports education as the key to a successful future. Part of this support involves arranging strategic alliances with other institutions of higher education for students interested in continuing their education after graduation. UTI has developed articulation agreements with several schools around the country that make it possible for graduates to transfer some of the credits earned at UTI. This provides UTI graduates with an excellent opportunity to transfer to an advanced degree program. UTI has teamed with the University of Phoenix to make it possible for some of the credits earned in UTIs Automotive Technology and Diesel Technology programs to transfer directly to University of Phoenix toward a Bachelor of Science degree.* Additionally, students who graduate from UTIs CRRT program in Houston may transfer some of these credits to University of Phoenix bachelors degree programs. With campuses located in most major cities nationwide and online, the university is prepared to accept those UTI graduates who meet their admissions requirements and want to continue their education to obtain its bachelors degree. UTI has also teamed with Western International University (WIU) to offer UTI graduates an opportunity to continue on to a bachelors degree through a credit transfer program. A number of UTIs credits may transfer into various bachelors degree programs at WIU.* The University has residential campuses in Arizona as well as online degree programs. UTI also has credit-acceptance programs with City University.* The University is a private, nonprofit higher education institution serving working adults who want to pursue further educational opportunities without interrupting their careers. With campus locations throughout the United States and around the world, City University offers UTI graduates an opportunity to obtain an associates or bachelors degree in less time (usually less than four years, depending on the number of UTI credits accepted*) via distance learning from wherever their careers may take them.

STUDENT SUPPORT STAFF


UTI has an experienced and highly skilled staff dedicated to assisting students. We help students determine whether they qualify for financial aid, assist them in obtaining affordable housing and part-time employment, and offer support in many more areas.

GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE


Although we cannot guarantee employment, we do place great emphasis on assisting UTI graduates to obtain entrylevel technician positions as they begin their careers.

GRADUATE REFRESHERS
To refresh their knowledge, graduates can retake any course they have successfully completed as often as they desire at no additional tuition cost (provided the course is still offered). Students will be responsible for any other costs, such as lab fees associated with any course they may wish to retake. Graduate refreshers are treated as audited courses and do not impact a students CGPA or overall attendance rate (i.e., do not replace the previous attempt(s)). UTI Course Catalog | 2013-2014

INDUSTRY ALLIANCES
To respond to the high demand for highly qualified technicians in the automotive industry, UTI has built alliances with many leading manufacturers. UTI is able to provide students with Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training programs through alliances with internationally renowned organizations, such as BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Cummins Rocky Mountain, Daimler Trucks, International Truck and Engine Corporation, NASCAR, DuPont Performance Coatings and Snap-on .

ACCREDITATION / APPROVALS
UTI has teamed with Wayland Baptist University (WBU) to offer UTI graduates an opportunity to continue their education through a credit transfer program. WBU has campuses in Arizona, Texas and other states as well as online programs. UTI students will be provided detailed information on these important continuing education opportunities during the career development portion of their training. Enrolling students may obtain information directly from their Admissions Representative. In all cases, UTI graduates must meet the admissions requirements of the accepting campus in order to transfer credit and complete a program. *The institution accepting UTI credits determines the credits to be accepted.

TRANSFER OF UTI COURSE CREDITS TO ANOTHER INSTITUTION


UTIs campuses are considered vocational institutions and do not offer degree programs or academic programs at the college level. Students receive diplomas upon successful completion of the training programs at all other campuses. However, the credits earned are not college-level and do not automatically transfer to another school unless that school is willing to accept them from a transferring student. UTI does not ensure the transferability of any credits to any other institution. In most cases, the credits earned at UTI will not transfer to another postsecondary institution. An institutions accreditation does not guarantee that credits earned at that institution would be accepted for transfer by any other institution. Students must contact the registrar of the receiving institution to determine what, if any, credits that institution will accept.

ACCREDITATION AND APPROVALS


UTI is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). ACCSC is an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

UTI Course Catalog | 2013-2014

ADMISSION PROCEDURES/ ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS


The school determines, with reasonable certainty and in advance of class start date, that the applicant has proper qualifications to complete training. Each Enrollment Agreement and other pertinent information submitted by the applicant will be reviewed prior to starting classes. To comply with the schools entrance requirements prior to starting or re-enrolliing, students must supply and UTI must accept one of the following documents: > Standards-based high school diploma recognized by the students state (documented with a copy of the diploma, a transcript provided by the high school or a DD Form 214 showing verification of high school graduation). Diplomas and transcripts will be evaluated upon receipt. UTI will evaluate diplomas for validity and reserves the right not to accept those deemed invalid; or > State-issued GED; or > Evidence of having previously attended a Title IV-eligible program at a postsecondary institution under the Ability to Benefit (ATB) provision prior to July 1, 2012 (documented with a copy of the official ATB test scores and transcript); or > Successful completion of a degree program at the postsecondary level (associate degree and beyond proven by submission of an official transcript from the college) or > Successful completion of home schooling officially recognized by the state of residence or an approved online high school diploma. See special notes below.

SPECIAL NOTES ON CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION AND IEP HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS


Students possessing a certificate of high school completion (completed all courses but did not pass all state standardsbased requirements such as testing) or high school diploma or transcript indicating the student used an individual education plan (IEP) that did not meet all of the state standardsbased requirements must provide a copy of a state-issued GED prior to starting class.

SPECIAL NOTES ON UTI RE-ENROLLEES PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED UNDER ATB PROVISION


> Students whose prior ATB enrollment resulted in graduation can re-enroll. > Students whose prior ATB enrollment resulted in withdrawal can re-enroll provided they meet all other re-enrollment criteria. > Former ATB students who may have been accepted to begin coursework but never attended and whose enrollment was therefore cancelled must provide a copy of a state-issued GED prior to starting class.

SPECIAL NOTES ON TRANSFERS FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS WHO PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED UNDER ATB PROVISION
> Students whose prior ATB enrollment can be validated with acceptable documentation demonstrating they had attended a Title IV-eligible program of study prior to July 1, 2012, may be accepted for enrollment at UTI. > It is not necessary for these students to have received federal financial aid while attending the previous school. > A transcript from the previous institution is required to verify attendance. These students may submit a copy of official ATB scores from the previous school or take a new ATB test for UTI admission. > Foreign education documents from outside the United States or its territories that cannot immediately be confirmed as valid proof of high school completion by a college official must be submitted for assessment with a third- party evaluation agency at the prospective students expense.
*

SPECIAL NOTES ON HOME SCHOOL AND ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS


Students who apply and present a diploma or certificate evidencing completion of home schooling or an approved online high school program will be required to pass an entrance exam.* Students enrolling with a home school diploma or valid online high school diploma are required by UTI policy to complete and achieve a passing score on an entrance exam prior to being formally accepted into the school (Students may be conditionally admitted prior to taking the entrance exam. However, students must earn an eligible score on the test prior to the first day of classes to gain formal admission and begin school). The entrance exam is the Wonderlic SLE T-51 Test. It is recommended that applicants who do not achieve a passing score of 13 wait one week before taking the second version of the exam, the SLE T-71, but the one-week period may be waived at the discretion of the Director of Student Services or designee based on individual circumstances. If a passing score on the second version is not achieved, the applicant cannot be admitted and all fees previously paid to the school will be refunded. Passing scores are determined by the test developer, Wonderlic. The school may substitute another entrance exam when it determines another test may be more suitable for the purpose of entrance examination.

All students, upon acceptance of an Enrollment Agreement, are conditionally admitted to UTI. The conditional status remains until the students documentation is judged acceptable and, if required, the student achieves an eligible/ passing score on the entrance exam designated for homeschool/online diplomas. Allowing adequate lead time (ideally 30 days minimum) for both evaluation of the document(s) submitted and an alert regarding any deficiency prior to any planned relocation to attend school is highly advised.

www.UTI.edu

ABILITY TO BENEFIT CALIFORNIA CAMPUSES ONLY


The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education requires any student attending a campus located in California show proof of ability to benefit from the training provided, prior to signing an enrollment agreement. Therefore, any prospective student who wishes to attend a UTI campus in the state of California and has not received a diploma or GED from a school providing secondary education must test and pass the Ability to Benefit (ATB) exam as part of the enrollment process. The ATB is for the purpose of enrollment only and is not intended to replace the GED/ high school diploma requirement necessary to be officially admitted. Ability to Benefit compliance is determined by an eligible score on the Wonderlic Basic Skills (210 passing score) and Verbal Skills (200 passing score). These tests and their passing scores have been developed by Wonderlic and approved by the U.S. Department of Education. In order to comply with state guidelines, Ability to Benefit tests must be administered independently of the school. Beyond assisting in finding a test site and an approved independent test administrator, the school has no role in the administration of this exam. Issues relating to the exam must be addressed with the approved independent test administrator or test publisher (Wonderlic). Students who do not pass each test of the first set may retake a second version if they meet the retake criteria determined by Wonderlic. Students who do not pass each test of the second set will not be permitted to sign an enrollment agreement as planned, and may return after six months and retake both versions of the test (as determined by Wonderlic). If a prospective student fails on these attempts, he or she must earn a GED certificate before reapplying. UTI reserves the right to substitute or change the ATB test it uses for this purpose, provided the new test is approved by the U.S. Department of Education for use as an ATB test.

does not guarantee admission to the program. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available spots, the institution will select the most qualified applicants based upon on GPA, attendance and interview responses.
