To be eligible for enrollment, a prospective student must be at least 16 years of age. Please note that all students enrolling under the age of 18, require a parent or guardian to execute the Enrollment Agreement. Note: A student must be at least 18 years of age before they are eligible to take FAA exams.
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.
Prospective students may complete their enrollment through UTI’s electronic enrollment process. All students, upon acceptance of an Enrollment Agreement, are conditionally admitted to UTI. The conditional status remains until the student’s documentation is judged acceptable. 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.
To comply with the school’s entrance requirements prior to starting or re‑enrolling, students must supply and UTI/NASCAR/MMI Tech must accept one of the following documents:
- Standards‑based high school diploma recognized by the student’s state (documented with a copy of the diploma, an official or unofficial transcript provided by the high school with the diploma type and graduation date noted, or a DD Form 214 showing verification of high school graduation). Diplomas and transcripts are evaluated upon receipt. UTI evaluates documents for validity and reserves the right to request additional information or official copies, or deny those deemed invalid. Note: All students at NASCAR Tech are required to submit high school transcripts rather than copies of their high school diplomas to satisfy admissions requirements; or
- State‑issued GED or state‑authorized equivalent exam; Note: All students at NASCAR Tech are required to submit GED or state authorized equivalent transcripts rather than copies of their GED or state authorized equivalent diploma to satisfy admissions requirements; or
- Successful completion of a degree program at the postsecondary level (associate degree and beyond proven by submission of a college transcript); or
- Successful completion of at least 60 semester or trimester credit hours or 72 quarter credit hours that does not result in the awarding of an associate’s degree (proven by submission of a college transcript); or
- Successful completion of an officially recognized home schooling program. The home schooling documentation required by UTI for review varies based on state requirements. If home schooling was completed in a state that issues a secondary school completion credential, a copy of the credential is required. If the state has no such requirements, additional documentation, including a transcript showing all courses, grades and graduation date, and a signed statement, must be submitted for review. The campus Registrar or designee will review home school documents and notify the applicant if further documentation is required.
Special Notes on Certificates of Completion and Special Education Diplomas
Students possessing a certificate of high school completion (i.e., completed all courses but did not pass all state standards‑based requirements such as testing), or high school diploma or transcript indicating the student earned a special education diploma that did not meet all of the state standards‑based requirements must provide a copy of a state‑issued GED or state‑authorized equivalent exam prior to starting class.
Foreign Education
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 school official must be submitted for assessment with a third‑party evaluation agency at the prospective student’s expense.
