The Code of Conduct applies to conduct that occurs from the time of a student’s application for admission to Universal Technical Institute through the actual awarding of a diploma, degree, or certificate (even if the conduct is not discovered until after the diploma, degree, or certificate is awarded). The Code of Conduct also applies to conduct that occurs on or off campus, including conduct that occurs online or virtually, including through electronic communications, on social media platforms, and on third‑party websites. Universal Technical Institute reserves the right to investigate and resolve reports of alleged violations of the Code of Conduct, and impose disciplinary action where appropriate, in all such situations. Universal Technical Institute officials will determine in their sole discretion if the Code of Conduct has been violated.
Universal Technical Institute reserves the right to investigate and resolve any report or incident of an alleged violation of this Code of Conduct and impose disciplinary action as appropriate regardless of whether that conduct is also alleged to have violated a local, state, or federal law or regulation. Universal Technical Institute’s Student Conduct Investigation and Resolution Procedure set forth below is separate, distinct, and independent of any criminal processes. While Universal Technical Institute may temporarily delay its processes under this procedure to avoid interfering with law enforcement efforts if requested by law enforcement, Universal Technical Institute will otherwise apply this policy and its processes without regard to the status or outcome of any criminal process.
