UTI/NASCAR Tech/MMI generally does not accept transfer credits from other Institutions unless formalized through an articulation agreement with a participating institution. Courses are reflected as Transfer Credit on transcripts in these scenarios and are included in pace of progression (POP) and maximum timeframe (MTF) calculations (see the Satisfactory Academic Progress section for more information).
In addition, students transferring from one school in the UTI network to another due to a campus closure are eligible to have all prior courses reviewed to determine applicable transfer credit. Official transcripts will be reviewed by the Education Department to ensure courses are of similar content, contain comparable learning objectives and hours, and have been completed with a C or better. Transcripts will reflect any courses where credit is granted as Transfer Credit for the course status.
Unless noted above, students with relevant prior coursework or experience may attempt to test out of the course. If the student passes the test, the course status becomes “tested out.” Courses with the status of tested out are not included in the CGPA, POP, or MTF calculations. Please see the Challenge Course Credit and Campus Transfer Credit policy in this catalog for more information.
Per the standards of our accrediting body, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), a student must complete at least 25% of the program in which they will earn credentials. Students who are awarded transfer credit may not transfer more than 75% of the total program credits to meet the 25% requirement.
