Campus Transfer Credit Through Challenge Testing 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. The 25% rule was established to maintain the integrity of accredited institutions and ensure students receive appropriate training for their tuition dollars. For Universal Technical Institute students, the 25% rule affects how and when a campus transfer can occur. For example, if a student is enrolled in a program that is 100 credits, they must complete at least 25 of the credits at the campus from which they will graduate. The only exception to this rule is if the student is transferring to another Universal Technical Institute location to complete manufacturer‑specific training. In these instances, the 25% rule does not apply. In all other instances, students must complete at least 25% of their training at the Universal Technical Institute location that issues their credentials. Note, the exception to the 25% rule does not apply to students in Auto, Diesel or Automotive/Diesel who want to withdraw and transfer to another Universal Technical Institute campus. The exception only applies to program combinations that include manufacturer‑specific training. Students may speak to a team member of the Student Services Department to review this rule in detail and receive answers to any questions they may have about their specific situations.

Prior credit may be awarded through successful completion of a challenge examination with a passing score or by meeting applicable transfer credit criteria. Official transcripts are required for courses eligible for transfer credit without a challenge test.

NCA situations typically occur when a student is required to retake a class, has taken a break prior, or has received transfer credit for some classes within the program.

Courses that are dropped, taken as refreshers, audited, tested out, or transfer credits are NOT included in the calculation. Pace of Progression (POP) calculations include all successfully completed courses, transfer credit courses, failed courses, repeats and dropped courses unless the course was dropped-LOA, dropped-incomplete, or dropped-cancelled status. Universal Technical Institute 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 POP and MTF calculations. In addition, students transferring from one school in the Universal Technical Institute network to another due to a campus closure are eligible to have all prior courses reviewed to determine applicable transfer credit. Transcripts will reflect any courses where credit is granted as Transfer Credit for the course status. Please see the Challenge Course Credit, Campus Transfer Credit, and Transfer of Other Institution Credits to Universal Technical Institute policies in this catalog for more information. Internal transfer credits will be included in the calculations for all three components.
