When a student is found in violation of the Code of Conduct, disciplinary actions appropriate to the policy violation(s) will be assigned. Disciplinary actions may include the following types of actions or any combination of the following actions. They do not necessarily occur in the order below based on the severity of the violation.
Compliance with all assigned sanctions within the time allocated is mandatory. Failure to complete or comply with any assigned sanction, or failure to meet an assigned deadline (if applicable), may result in further disciplinary action, and/or the placement of a hold on a student’s UTI account. If a student withdraws or takes a leave from UTI prior to the completion of their sanctions, they must complete all assigned sanctions before they will be considered for re‑enrollment.
- Warning: Formal notice that a student’s actions violated an Institute policy, that such actions are not acceptable in our community, and that further misconduct, or any other violation of an Institute policy, may result in more impactful disciplinary action.
- Written Notice: A written statement to the student that UTI/ NASCAR Tech/MMI/MIAT regulations have been violated with the possibility that stronger disciplinary action could occur in the event of future violations.
- Removal From Class: A student can be subject to removal from class. Such students are required to go to the Student Services department for advisement related to absence for the remainder of the course to avoid withdrawal from school. The professionalism grade of the student may be affected. The retake fee/tuition policy will apply if the student is removed for the remainder of the course.
- Restitution: Repayment for conduct such as damage to or theft of property may take the form of repairing, replacing, or otherwise account for the property affected.
- Probation/Loss or Restriction of Privileges or Activities: A student’s on campus activities may be limited for a specified period of time. The student is advised in writing of probable suspension or termination for further violations.
- Suspension: Suspension will result in a withdrawal from school and discontinuation of financial aid eligibility. A student who is suspended may request to re‑enroll after the suspension period.
- Termination: Termination actions are for situations that warrant action more severe than suspension. Depending on the severity of the situation, students may be terminated due to a single violation of the Code of Conduct. Termination may also be appropriate after a student has received more than one suspension for violations of the Code of Conduct. Students who are terminated from UTI for Code of Conduct violations must be approved for re admittance through the Petition for Re‑enrollment process set forth below.
