Universal Technical Institute, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Institute”) is extremely concerned about the safety and well-being of its students. Of additional concern is the Institute’s reputation as a premier provider of professional technicians and an industry leader in the postsecondary technical education industry. The Institute believes the unlawful possession and use of illicit drugs and abuse of alcohol is harmful and dangerous. Alcohol and drug abuse not only have an adverse effect on safety, but also on the health and welfare of the entire community. The Institute’s objectives in this policy include the following:
- To establish and maintain a safe, healthy environment for all students;
- To encourage counseling and rehabilitation assistance for those who seek help;
- To preserve the reputation of the Institute within the community and industry at large;
- To reduce the number of accidental injuries to persons or property;
- To reduce absenteeism and tardiness; and
- To improve the success rate of the student body.
