INTRODUCTION
MISSION STATEMENT
As a nationwide provider of technical education training for students seeking careers as professional automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle and marine technicians, we train and prepare students to become entry-level technicians. A third campus was built in Glendale Heights, Illinois, in 1988. Additional class and lab space was added in 1997. The Southern California campus in Rancho Cucamonga opened in 1998. In 2004, that campus relocated to a new, larger facility. In 2002, Universal Technical Institute of North Carolina, Inc. opened NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville, North Carolina. In 2003, UTI became a public company through a successful initial public offering of its common stock. In 2004, Universal Technical Institute of Pennsylvania, Inc. opened in Exton, Pennsylvania. In 2005, Universal Technical Institute of Massachusetts, Inc., opened in Norwood, Massachusetts. In 2005, Clinton Technical Institute, a subsidiary of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., changed its name to Universal Technical Institute of Phoenix, Inc. The newly named entity offers Automotive Technology training at its Orlando campus. In 2006, the Orlando campus added a new training elective, Nissan Automotive Technician Training (NATT). Ford FACT is also offered at this location. In 2005, Universal Technical Institute of Northern California, Inc., opened in Sacramento, California.

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).
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
NON-MATRICULATING STUDENTS
For those students who do not enroll in a full, approved program and are therefore ineligible for federal student aid and a degree/diploma from an accredited program, proof of high school graduation or GED is not required. If a student chooses later to enroll in a full program, all admissions requirements listed above must be satisfied.
The above restrictions apply to convictions received as an adult as well as those received as a juvenile if the applicant was convicted as an adult. A students entire criminal background, including misdemeanor convictions, will be considered when reviewing his or her application for enrollment. Students who have been convicted of a misdemeanor after their most recent felony conviction and within the last year will not be eligible for enrollment until at least one year after their most recent conviction. Also, applicants who are convicted in a military court proceeding (general court-martial) fall under the same felony review process and must provide all appropriate background paperwork. Applicants who have a pending felony charge must resolve the situation to final disposition before consideration by the appeals committee. Also, applicants who have a disposition of adjudication withheld and have not completed the requirements of their disposition will be required to complete all aspects of their adjudication and receive final disposition before being reviewed by the appeals committee. Finally, applicants who have a disposition of adjudication withheld and have proof of final disposition will be required to go through the criminal background process and be reviewed by the appeals committee. For the safety and security of the campus and depending upon the circumstances, it may be advisable to deny application based on the applicants past criminal background even if the applicant does not fall into the above categories. Applicants with a criminal background will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Actively enrolled students are expected to notify Financial Aid and Student Services representatives if they are charged or convicted, or there are changes in charge/conviction status related to a violent crime, felony or drug offense while attending UTI. Students who incur a qualifying offense will be subject to the same process and evaluation as new applicants, which may lead to termination of enrollment. The Operations Shared Services Manager has the responsibility of reviewing and approving enrollment agreements to ensure proper qualifications in accordance with admissions standards. Applicants who are denied admission will be notified promptly in writing by the campus. In support of a drug-free environment, UTI students agree, as a condition of acceptance, to UTIs Substance Abuse Prevention policy. Specific details are published in the Catalog II: Student Information Guide and are available upon request from the Student Services Department. UTI, based on information obtained during the interview process, may request a criminal background check on any applicant. Adverse reports will be taken into consideration regarding acceptance.
