This Refund Policy is used to calculate the refund of
institutional charges. A separate Return of Title IV Funds
calculation is performed to determine the amount of federal
aid that must be returned to the federal government by YTI
and the student. The last date of attendance is used for both
calculations. Any refund of institutional charges is credited
to the student’s account within 30 days of determining the
student is no longer enrolled.
Return of Title IV Funds (Federal Financial Aid) Policy
A student must contact the Registrar, Program Director, or
Program Coordinator to officially withdraw from YTI. If a
student withdraws or is dismissed from YTI, the school and/
or the student may be required to return a portion of the
federal financial aid received. The last date of attendance is
used to calculate any federal aid that must be returned.
The percentage of federal aid to be returned is equal to the
number of calendar days remaining in the quarter, divided by
the number of days in the quarter. Scheduled breaks of five
or more days are excluded. No return of federal aid is due if
the student completes more than 60% of the quarter.
For the MTC: The percentage of federal aid which has
been earned is equal to the clock hours the student was
scheduled to complete in the payment period as of the
date of withdrawal divided by the total clock hours in the
payment period. Federal aid disbursed minus federal aid
earned equals the unearned federal aid to be returned. The
Motorsports Technology Program is made up of two (2)
payment periods, each consisting of 450 clock hours. No

return of federal aid is due if the student completes more

assistance in completing all financial aid applications and
paperwork.
The student is required to return any unearned aid less the
amount returned by YTI. If a student needs to return loan
funds, the funds are repaid as required by the normal loan
repayment terms. If the student is required to return federal
grant aid, the student is considered to be in overpayment and
thus ineligible for any additional federal aid until that amount
is repaid. YTI will notify a student who owes an overpayment
within thirty days of determining the student withdrew.
Financial Assistance Programs: Grants & Scholarship
Programs
Grant and scholarship funds are gift aid and do not need
to be repaid. Scholarships are generally awarded based on
merit. Grants are typically awarded based on financial need,
school costs, and the student’s enrollment status.
Federal aid funds are returned in the following order: 1)
Unsubsidized Direct Loans; 2) Subsidized Direct Loans;
3) Direct PLUS Loans; 4) Federal Pell Grants; 5) Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG);
and 6) Other Federal Aid Programs.
Unearned federal aid is returned within 30 calendar days
of the date the school is aware the student is no longer
enrolled. A student receives a written notice of any loan
funds returned by YTI and an invoice for any balance owed
the school.
If a student has earned more federal aid than has been
posted to his or her account, the student may be entitled
to a post-withdrawal disbursement. The post-withdrawal
disbursement is used first by the school to pay outstanding
charges; any remaining amount is offered to the student or
parent borrower.
Additional information on the return of Title IV funds calculation
procedures and requirements, including examples, may be
obtained by contacting the YTI Educational Funding Office.
Funds will be returned to other financial aid programs in
accordance with the funding source’s refund policies.

rests with the student and his or her family, the Educational

Grade reports can be requested verbally or in writing and will be
processed within 24 hours of the request.
If a student believes there is a discrepancy with a grade, he or
she should see the instructor of the course in question within

change is necessary, the instructor will forward a request for
grade change to the Registrar’s office. The Registrar will issue
a corrected student grade report.

STUDENT SERVICES
Advising
Academic
Faculty advises students regarding their academic standing in
each course. The Program Director/Coordinator consults with
students who do not achieve satisfactory academic progress for
the term. The student is then placed on probation.
Attendance
Attendance advising is the responsibility of the instructors and
the Program Director/Coordinator. Students are expected to
attend all scheduled classes. In the uncontrollable event of being
absent, it is expected and the responsibility of the student to
contact the Program Director/Coordinator.

begins not on the day of graduation, but on the day of the
student’s enrollment.
Student Loan Management
The Educational Funding Specialist conducts an entrance
interview and loan counseling with new students during a
financial aid plan to review the rights and responsibilities of
borrowing Federal Direct Loans and encourages responsible
borrowing practices with the student. Prior to the completion of
the student’s program, YTI Career Institute requires that students
complete exit loan counseling. The Director of Educational
Funding offers both group and one-on-one sessions to explain
the repayment options and characteristics of the Federal Direct
Loan program.
Financial
Each incoming student meets with an Educational Funding
Specialist to complete a financial plan. Students must complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Data from
the FAFSA is used in a formula established by the U.S. Congress
to determine the student’s Expected Family Contribution
(EFC), and ultimately, financial need. Based on the EFC, an
Educational Funding Specialist creates a financial aid package
to assist students in meeting the cost of their education. During
a student’s first academic year, either an Educational Funding
Specialist or the Bursar will conduct classroom visits to present
Financial Literacy materials which include student loan terms
and conditions, debt management, consumer credit basics, and
budgeting tools.
Record Keeping
The Registrar is responsible for maintaining all student records.
A file (electronic and paper) is created for each student and
includes the following: application for admission, letter of
acceptance, enrollment agreement, student information sheet,
emergency information sheet, photo/field trip release form, and
at least one of the following: high school transcript, proof of
graduation from an accredited high school, General Educational
Development (GED) or the equivalent.
As the student progresses, any pertinent information is added
to the file, including but not limited to copies of relevant
medical information, student contact sheets, Appeals Board
results, copies of full-time student status verification letters,
copies of items the student requests be included in the
current file, and Change of Status forms reflecting the date

STUDENT POLICIES -ADMISSIONS
Admissions Requirements
A diploma from an accredited high school, General Educational
Development (GED), or the equivalent is the basic requirement
for admission for all programs.
Application for Admissions
To apply for admission, a student must complete and submit
an Application for Admissions form with a $50 Application
Fee. Upon receipt of the Application for Admissions and the
Application Fee, the Admissions Department will request a
copy of the applicant’s high school scholastic record. College
transcripts should be obtained by the individual and forwarded
to the Admissions Department.
Applications for Admission are accepted throughout the
year. Class terms start in Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Prospective students are encouraged to apply as early as
possible in advance of the requested term start as some forms
of financial aid, to those students who qualify, give preference
to first applicants.
YTI is not authorized by the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Agency (ICE) to accept and enroll students
classified as non immigrants by ICE.
Application & Acceptance Policies
The application process at YTI consists of the following
activities. A prospective student must satisfy each of them prior
to acceptance into a requested program:
1. Complete an Application for Admissions form and submit it
with the Application Fee.
2. Make a personal visit to the school.
3. Complete the COMPASS Assessment 1
4. Meet with a YTI Educational Funding Specialist and
complete a personal financial plan.
5. Submit proof of high school graduation, GED or equivalent.
6. Submit proof of program-specific requirements (if
applicable) 2
7. Execute an Enrollment Agreement.
8. For Respiratory Therapy and Veterinary Technician
applicants only: Test of Essential Academic Skill V for Allied
Health (TEAS V for AH), formally the Health Occupations
Basic Entrance Test Examination (HOBET)3
COMPASS (Computer-adapted Assessment and Support
Services) is a diagnostic test of basic academic skills (reading,
vocabulary, writing, and mathematics) administered to all
applicants. The minimum reading level for the Respiratory
Therapy and Veterinary Technician programs is 85. This
equates to a 12th grade reading level verifiable through
COMPASS. The minimum reading level for the Motorcycle
Technology Center is 74. The minimum reading score for all
other programs is 77. This equates to a 10th grade reading level
verifiable through COMPASS. Applicants are able to take the
COMPASS a maximum of 3 times in one year from the date of
the initial assessment.
1
YTI Career Institute does not charge for the following programspecific requirements: high school or GED transcripts, drug
tests, preliminary background checks, COMPASS testing, and
TEAS V for AH testing. It is the applicant’s responsibility for
the cost of all other program-specific requirements including:
immunizations, certifications, and licenses.
2
Test of Essential Academic Skill V for Allied Health (TEAS
V for AH), formally the Health Occupations Basic Entrance
Test Examination (HOBET) measures basic essential skills in
the academic content area domains of reading, mathematics,
science, and English and language usage. It comprises four
sections that are intended for use with adult allied health
program applicant populations. All applicants to the Respiratory
Therapy and Veterinary Technician programs must score an
adjusted individual total score in the percentile ranking of 50%
or better. The 50th percentile ranking places YTI applicants in
the median range.
3
Advanced Standing
Applicants who desire credit for previous academic preparation
in high school or previous work experience may request
advanced standing prior to the start of their enrollment at YTI.
YTI will then interview and/or test the applicant to determine
the level at which they may be able to join a program. As part
of their process, YTI may request examples of the applicant’s
previous work for review.
Transfer of Credits/Clock Hours
Applicants who wish to transfer credit/clock hours from another
accredited post-secondary institution must provide an official
transcript and course descriptions from that institution prior to
matriculation. Applicants must have achieved a grade of “C” or
better in courses submitted for transfer. Final determination
related to the award of transferred credits/clock hours or credit
for experience will be at the discretion of the Institute. The
request and final determination must be made prior to the start
of the course for which credit transfer is desired.
No more than 75% of the credits/clock hours in a program of
study may be attained via advanced standing or transfer of
credit.
STUDENT POLICIES -ACADEMIC
Financial Progress
Students must satisfy all financial obligations to the school prior
to the last day of the term. It is expected that the student will
comply by providing all necessary requested information and/
or forms. Also, if monthly payments are budgeted, they are to
be submitted on or before the statement due date to maintain
satisfactory financial progress.
If a student fails to meet his or her financial obligations, he or she
will receive a warning. If the financial situation is not satisfied,
the student will be placed on Financial Probation. Should the
terms and conditions of the probation not be met, the student
will be dismissed. The student may appeal his or her dismissal
by submitting a written request to the Financial Appeals Board.
Attendance
Regular attendance in classes is considered essential.
Cultivation of desirable work habits is as important as the
development of skills. Development of this important habit
while in school makes it considerably easier to satisfy employer
expectations of regular and punctual attendance when students
become employed in their career fields.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes.
Attendance will be monitored by term, and students are
expected to monitor their time and attendance, as well. Also, if a
student must be absent, he or she should contact the instructor
just as he or she would contact an employer in the event of
absence.
Tardiness and leaving early is unacceptable in the industry and
will not be tolerated at YTI. Tardiness and leaving class early
causes disruption to the class and is unfair to the students who
make it a point to be punctual.
Students exceeding 10% absence of his/her scheduled class
hours in a term will be placed on attendance probation. Failure
to meet the terms of probation will result in dismissal.
Graduation Requirements
Diplomas, Associate in Specialized Technology Degrees, or
Associate in Specialized Business Degrees will be issued
to those students who have received a passing grade in all
required courses, have met all requirements in their respective
programs and:
1. Completed all assigned projects and attained a final
cumulative grade point average of 2.0 “C” or better.
2. Satisfied all financial obligations to the school prior to the
last day of class.
3. Attended a minimum of 90% of the program.
Academic Progress Policy
Students are required to make satisfactory academic progress
(SAP) toward their degrees or diplomas. SAP standards apply to
all students, regardless of enrollment status, program or receipt
of financial aid. SAP is evaluated at the end of each quarter and,
for clock hour programs, at the end of each payment period.
SAP is cumulative for all periods of enrollment.
A student must receive a passing grade in all required courses
and earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better in
order to graduate.
Maximum Time Frame
For credit hour programs: A student must complete his or her
program of instruction within a time period that does not exceed
1.5 times the normal length of the program, as measured in
credits attempted.
For the MTC: A student must complete his or her program
of instruction within a time period that does not exceed 1.5
times the normal length of the program, as measured by the
cumulative number of clock hours attempted as expressed in
calendar time.
In the event, a student is awarded transfer status or advanced
standing for a course or courses prior to matriculation, the
maximum time frame will be adjusted to reflect that.
The maximum time frame for a transfer student, a student
changing programs, or a student who earns non-traditional
12
credits (credits by exam, etc.) is adjusted based on the number
of credits the student needs to complete the program.
Cumulative Grade Point Average/Completion Rate
SAP is reviewed at the end of each quarter. At the time of
review, the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA)
and the student’s academic pace or completion rate (credit
hours successfully completed versus credit hours attempted)
are calculated. A student is considered in good standing if he or
she meets the standards below.
For the MTC: SAP is reviewed at the end of each quarter for
academics as well as each payment period for Financial Aid.
Students must maintain a CGPA of 2.0 at the end of each
quarter. Also, students must be in attendance a minimum of 90%
as determined by the actual clock hours attended versus the
actual clock hours scheduled. Students must earn (successfully
complete) at least 67% of the total cumulative hours attempted.

Academic Probation
A student who fails to maintain SAP will be placed on academic
probation for one quarter. A student on academic probation
is automatically on Financial Aid warning. A student who
fails to regain SAP at the end of the probationary period will
be dismissed from the Institute. A student may appeal for an
additional probationary quarter in accordance with YTI’s Appeal
Process. A student with a successful SAP appeal will be placed
on Financial Aid Probation.
Course Repetitions
A student who receives a failing grade (F) or withdrawn (W) grade
for a course must repeat that course and achieve a passing
grade to receive credit for the course. A student may also repeat
a course to improve any grade. When a course is repeated,
only the grade and credits attempted for the repeat course will
be used to calculate CGPA. When computing Completion Rate,
the credits for both the original attempt and all repeat attempts
will be counted as credits attempted and credits earned. When
computing the Completion Rate for the MTC Academic Pace,
the clock hours for both the original attempt and all repeat
attempts will be counted as clock hours attempted but only the
successful repeat attempt counts as hours earned.
A student shall be granted one free attempt of a failed course
as long as there is no break in the student’s enrollment. If the
student should fail the course again, the student will be charged
for the credits (clock hours for the MTC) for the third attempt.
Repeat charges will be calculated as follows: total tuition of
the program as per the enrollment agreement divided by the
total credits (clock hours for the MTC) of the program times the
number of credits (clock hours for the MTC) for the repeated
course.
13
A student is allowed to include credits (clock hours for the
MTC) for repeated coursework that was either previously
failed or successfully completed to count toward enrollment
status in term-based programs for the calculation of Title IV aid
eligibility. Federal Pell Grant funds disbursed will count towards
a student’s lifetime eligibility and subsidized Federal Direct
Loan funds disbursed will count towards the student’s 150%
subsidized loan usage.
No course may be attempted more than three times.
Incomplete Grades
For purposes of calculating the CGPA, an Incomplete (I) is
counted as a failing grade (F). SAP will be recalculated if the ‘I’
grade changes to a passing grade. For purposes of calculating
the completion rate, ‘I’ grades are counted as credits attempted
but not earned. An ‘I’ grade not successfully resolved within
twenty-one calendar days of the start of the following quarter
will automatically become an ‘F’ grade.
Withdrawals
Students withdrawing from the Institute during a quarter will
receive a ‘W’ for all courses not completed in that quarter. ‘W’
grades are not used in calculating the student’s CGPA. For
purposes of calculating the completion rate, ‘W’ grades are
counted as credits (clock hours for the MTC) attempted but not
earned.
Changes From One Program to Another
When a student is enrolled in one program and requests for
readmission to another program, only courses that are accepted
as advance stand are applicable into his or her new program
will be used in calculating CGPA and Completion Rate.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credit hours from another institution will count as
both attempted and completed hour; however, advance stand
grades are not included in the calculation of CGPA. Advanced
Standing is not taken into account when determining SAP,
except to reduce the maximum time frame for completion of the
program.
Mitigating Circumstances
YTI understands that students may encounter unusual or
unexpected circumstances that may interrupt their programs of
study. Mitigating circumstances include, but are not limited to,
major illness, family emergencies, and personal crisis. Students
who feel their lack of satisfactory academic progress is due to
mitigating circumstances may appeal academic probation as
outlined below.
SAP Appeals
A student may appeal his or her academic dismissal from the
Institute by submitting a written request to the Education Office
according to the schedule stated in the dismissal notification
letter. The student’s appeal must include:
• Why the student failed to make SAP and
• What has changed that will allow the student to make SAP
at the end of the next quarter.
If the appeal is approved, the Institute has determined that the
student:
• Will be able to make SAP standards by the end of the next
term and/or
• Will be placed on academic plan that will ensure the student
is able to meet SAP standards by a specific point in time.
The student whose appeal is granted is afforded an additional
probationary quarter to regain SAP. If the appeal is denied, the
student is dismissed from the Institution.
If the student fails to meet SAP by the end of the next quarter, or
if the student fails to adhere to the terms of their academic plan,
the student will be dismissed.
Restarts
A student who is dismissed from the Institute may submit a
request for readmission to be readmitted after a waiting period
of at least one quarter. If the student’s appeal to restart is
accepted, the student will be readmitted with a probationary
status.
Financial Aid and SAP
In general, a student who is not making SAP is no longer
eligible for the Title IV aid. However, a student may retain
eligibility for federal financial aid while on academic probation,
not to exceed two consecutive payment periods (quarters). A
student permitted to continue or resume attendance beyond two
consecutive probationary quarters is not eligible for financial aid
until he or she regains satisfactory progress in accordance with
this policy.
SAP Evaluation and Financial Aid
The institution evaluates SAP at the end of each quarter (for
clock hour programs, also at the end of each payment period).
If the student fails to make SAP, the student will be placed on
Financial Aid warning for one payment period. The student
must make SAP at that time or will be placed on Financial Aid
probation for one payment period after an appeal is submitted
by the student then reviewed and approved by the Institution.
Financial Aid Warning
Financial Aid Warning status is assigned to a student who fails to
make SAP for the first time when SAP is evaluated at the end of
each payment period.
Students may continue to receive Title IV aid for one payment
period (one quarter for credit hour programs) upon meeting with
the Director of Educational Funding (DEF). At this meeting, the
DEF will explain the ramifications of attempting new coursework
or repeating coursework. These include, but are not limited to,
incurring tuition charges and the subsequent disbursement of
Federal Grant funds or Federal loan assistance for which the
student is eligible during that term. No appeal is necessary for
this status.
SAP Appeals and Financial Aid
A student who fails SAP while on academic probation and
Financial Aid Warning must file a written appeal with the
Appeals Board in order to remain enrolled. As part of the
academic appeals process, the student may also petition for
reconsideration of eligibility for Title IV aid. Financial aid will be
reinstated for the student whose appeal is granted.
Financial Aid Probation
Financial Aid Probation status is assigned by the Institution to a
student who fails to make SAP while on a term of Financial Aid
Warning and who has appealed and has had eligibility for Title
IV aid reinstated. The student may continue to receive Federal
student aid for one payment period (one quarter for credit hour
programs) while in a status of Financial Aid Probation. The
Institution may impose conditions on the student’s continued
eligibility to receive Title IV aid.
SAP Notifications
The Institution will notify students of the results of SAP appeals
reviews that impact the student’s eligibility for Title IV aid.
After Financial Aid Probation
At the end of the term of Financial Aid Probation:
• The student must be making SAP or
• Must be successfully following an academic plan
Restarts/ Regaining Financial Aid Eligibility
A student may appeal his or her loss of financial aid by submitting
a written request, with attached documentation of extenuating
circumstances, to the Director of Educational Funding. If the
student’s appeal is successful, the student will be granted aid.
Maximum Program Completion Time
Refer to campus sections for program specific requirements.
Maximum program completion time is 150% the normal length
of the program as measured in quarter credit hours. For the
MTC, the maximum length of the program as measured in
calendar time.
Academic Dishonesty Policy
The Academic Dishonesty Policy at YTI was developed in
accordance with specific objectives that support our mission
statement:
• To prepare students academically and professionally to meet
the needs of employers and the workplace.
• To commit to each and every day being a worthwhile learning
experience for its students and to ensure student success.
• To incorporate experiential learning opportunities throughout
the educational process including hands-on training,
application-based assignments, shadowing, directed and
independent work projects, and externships.
Provisions of the Academic Dishonesty Policy will enable the
faculty to properly evaluate student skills and maintain the
quality and integrity of our graduates, while demonstrating a
respect for individual achievement.
Definition of Academic Dishonesty
Academic Dishonesty is any incident whereby a student or
group of students knowingly and willingly offers or seeks to gain
an academic advantage by giving or receiving inappropriate
assistance in the preparation and completion of assignments
and evaluations.
For student(s) that have engaged in any form of academic
dishonesty, the course of action is as follows:
1st Incident
All students involved:
1. Will receive a zero for the individual effort.
2. Will have their final course grade lowered by one full letter
grade.
3. Will be placed on conduct probation until graduation from YTI
The instructor will determine if the terms of probation require
resubmission of the individual’s work.
2nd Incident
The student(s) involved will be automatically dismissed from
school with request for readmission only through the approval
of the Appeals Board.
Appeals
The Appeals Board meets throughout the term to review
requests from students who are requesting an exception to
YTI’s attendance, academic, and/or conduct policies upon
completion of a term that would, otherwise, result in probation,
dismissal, repeat of a term, or failure to graduate.
Any student wishing to appeal status changes dictated by YTI
policy and procedure must submit their appeal in writing to the
Education Office. The written request to appeal must contain
the following information to be considered for appeal: the
student’s full name and mailing address, his or her class number,
an outline of the facts surrounding the circumstances which
caused the performance leading to the appeal (i.e.: reasons
for absences, tardiness, inappropriate conduct, delinquency, or
poor grades), a description of the student’s attempt to remedy
the situation while it was occurring (i.e.: carpooling, change in
work hours, student habits, et cetera), an explanation of how
the situation has been resolved. All requests must be signed
and dated.
14
Students will be advised at least 24 hours prior to the time
they are scheduled to meet with the board, provided they have
submitted their request at least 48 hours prior to the appeals
hearing date. For requests received after that time, the student
will be advised of a general time to appear, and will need to be
available to meet as a session becomes available. Hearing times
do not necessarily correspond with normally scheduled class
hours.
Students should bring all appropriate documentation to the
Appeals Board. Students will be notified of the decision of the
Appeals Board prior to the start of the next term. The Appeals
Board’s decisions are based upon:
• The student’s written request and documentation.
• The situation’s resolution.
• Recommendations from the faculty.
• Published YTI Policies and Procedures.
Make- up
Students are noted as absent for any time missed from classes.
Students are responsible to contact the faculty member for
materials presented, assignments given in the class, and any
work or evaluation missed during the absence.
YTI Career Institute does not charge for make-up work.
For the MTC: tests/ quizzes: Exams must be made up within
three (3) school days upon return to class and may be subject
to an automatic 10% deduction. Exams not made up within
three (3) school days may be assigned a zero (0) grade.
Assignments: Work or assignment(s) not turned in on the due
date because of an absence, may be subject to a 5% deduction
every day until material(s) is turned in. After five (5) calendar
days the assignment may be assigned a zero (0) grade.
Withdrawal
A student may request a withdrawal in good standing based
on the following criteria: the student intends to restart classes
within 180 days. Upon withdrawal, the student must submit
a written request and receive approval for the withdrawal in
good standing. The written request is made by completing and
submitting a Request for Change of Status form. Request forms
are available from the Education Office/ Registrar. The request
will be reviewed by the Program Director, Educational Funding,
the Registrar, and the Director of Education. The student will
receive a copy of the request form noting its appropriate status.
The student will be required to meet with Financial Services
to review the student’s account and to discuss what action is
necessary to return to school.
For a student failing to return from a withdrawal in good standing
on the scheduled restart date, the good standing status will
automatically be removed.
Probation & Dismissal
Probation will result for any one of the following violations of the
student policies:
• Attendance Probation – A student who is absent more
than the allotted hours in a term will be placed on
attendance probation. If, during the probation term, the
student exceeds the terms of his or her probation, the
student may be dismissed.
• Academic Probation – A student who has failed to meet
SAP is placed on Academic Probation for one term
to raise his or her cumulative grade point average or
completion rate to the standards of the Academic Policy.
A student on Academic Probation is automatically on
Financial Aid Warning. If a student fails to meet these
standards by the end of the probationary period, he or
she may be dismissed.
15
• Conduct Probation – A student who in the judgment of the
Institute is materially non-compliant with student policies
will be placed on conduct probation. The Program
Director will determine the terms of probation. Any
student who does not comply with the terms of his or her
probation may be dismissed. Immediate dismissal may
occur depending on the severity of the conduct.
• Financial Aid Probation – A status assigned by the
institution to a student who fails to make SAP for a
second term in a row and who has appealed and has
had eligibility for Title IV aid reinstated. The Institution
may impose conditions for a student’s continued
eligibility to receive Title IV aid. Upon approval of the
student’s written appeal, the student may receive Federal
Student Aid for one payment period (one term.)
• Financial Probation – Students who do not meet their
financial obligations will be placed on financial probation.
Failure to meet terms and condition of the probation may
result in dismissal.
Restart
A student may request readmission by completing a Request
for Change of Status form available from the Registrar or the
Program Director. The Director of Education, Program Director,
Registrar, and financial services staff may review the request
for readmission. The student may be required to appeal prior to
restarting school.
Restart Appeals
The Appeals Board meets as needed each term to review
requests from students dismissed for violations of academic,
attendance, or conduct standards who are requesting
readmission to YTI. Students will be notified of appeals board
findings prior to the commencement of the next term.
Cooperation with Law Enforcement and Other Agencies
In the event that a student has been apprehended for the
violation of a law in the community, state, or nation, the school
will not request nor agree to special consideration for that
individual because of his or her status as a student. The school
will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other agencies in
the enforcement of the law.
Student Right to Know
In accordance with the Student’s Right To Know Act 1990,
schools must report the completion/graduation rates of their
full-time, first-time undergraduates after two and half years of
enrollment. This information is available and maintained by
the Registrar. Students should direct requests for this to the
Registrar.
Graduate Audit Process
Graduates may return to audit classes in their program of study
beyond graduation. The school reserves the right to charge
graduates for books, supplies, and consumables associated
with the audit of a course. When auditing a course, graduates
must comply with the school’s stated student policies, including,
but not limited to: dress code and employability traits. No
grades or attendance are maintained on graduates who audit
the course as there is no credit associated with the audit.
Auditing of courses is at the discretion of the school and based
upon availability. Requests to audit must be made to the school
Registrar.

March of 1982, and the first classes began in July of 1982.
In June of 1987, the Computer Learning Center, Inc. was
purchased by Continental Training Services of Indianapolis,
Indiana. Shortly thereafter, the name of the school was
officially changed to Computer Learning Network. In February
1988, the school was granted approval to operate a branch
campus in Altoona, Pennsylvania. In June 1992, the Altoona
facility was approved as a free-standing private career
school. On November 12, 1992, the school was purchased
by officers of the school under the corporate name of CLN
Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a Computer Learning Network.
Medical programs were added to the school’s menu of
programs in 1993.
In 2006, YTI purchased the Computer Learning Network
schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg. In 2007, the school
changed its name to YTI Career Institute – Altoona.
YTI is a private, post-secondary institution of higher education

History
YTI serves students and employers throughout Central
Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. YTI started
offering career-focused educational programs in 1967 and
remains committed to that purpose today. In the fall of 1999,
YTI opened an additional location at the Lancaster County
Career & Technology Center - Mt. Joy and began offering
the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management program. The
demand for the program increased, and YTI added another
location in Mt. Joy to accommodate additional students in
the fall of 2000. The Pastry Arts program was added that fall.
Due to the success of the culinary programs, YTI decided
to purchase a 52,000 square-foot facility located at 3050
Hempland Road, Lancaster, PA, to accommodate its
growing student population. This new location provided the
opportunity to add additional programs. In the fall of 2003,
YTI closed the Mt. Joy locations and opened the Lancaster
campus.
Due to strong market demands, the allied health division
was created and started its first program, Medical Assistant
in July 2004. Also in July 2004, the Public Safety &
Security Administration (since renamed Criminal Justice &
First Response) program began at the Lancaster campus.
Medical Billing & Coding was added in October 2005 and
23
Dental Assisting in October 2006.
In 2006, the school changed its name to YTI Career Institute
– Lancaster. Also in 2006, YTI purchased the Computer
Learning Network schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg.
YTI has grown significantly from its small beginnings some
47 years ago and now serves a population of approximately
1400 students at its four campuses. The YTI schools remain
committed to its mission of serving the career and personal
goals of students and meeting the employment needs of
businesses in the local region.

History
The MTC is a private post-secondary institution of higher
education. MTC is one of the schools in the YTI Career
Institute system. YTI was established in 1967, when local
businessmen in York, Pennsylvania, started a co-educational
institution to train entry-level draftsmen in response to the
expressed needs of area industries. The initial location of the
Institute was on Richland Avenue in York. The first program
was in Design Drafting Technology. In 1979, the National
Association of Trade and Technical Schools (now known as
the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools & Colleges)
granted its initial accreditation to the institution. In 1981, the
Institute moved to West King Street in downtown York. It
began offering a program in Electronics Technology in 1984.
One year later, it moved to a location on Whiteford Road in
Springettsbury Township, a nearby suburb.
In 1985, the Institute expanded its program offerings with
its initial business programs. The Institute developed these
programs as a result of market research showing the York
area had viable employment needs in these fields.
In the fall of 1992, the Institute leased additional classroom
facilities at the Cyber Center on Pennsylvania Ave in York,
and began offering a program in Heating, Air Conditioning,
and Refrigeration Technology at the site. In the face of
continually increasing enrollments and new program
offerings, the Institute purchased 13 acres on Williams Road
in Springettsbury Township and broke ground in the summer
of 1994 for a new 60,000 square foot facility.
In July 1995, the Institute moved into its new campus and
more technology programs were added.
30
In the fall of 1998, the school began to offer a program in
Motorcycle Technology.
At the beginning of 1999, the Culinary Arts/Restaurant
Management program was introduced and in 2000, the
Institute began offering a program in Pastry Arts. The majority
of the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management program and
Pastry Arts program were offered at the Culinary Arts Center
of Lancaster County Career and Technology located in Mount
Joy, Pennsylvania.
In October 2003, YTI established an additional location,
York Technical Institute - Lancaster campus, to consolidate
the culinary programs and provide opportunities for new
programs in the future.
In 2006, the school changed its name to YTI Career Institute
– York. Also in 2006, YTI purchased the Computer Learning
Network schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg.
Due to the success of the motorcycle program, YTI decided
to open the Motorcycle Technology Center, a 15,000 square
foot facility located at 52 Grumbacher Road to accommodate
its growing Motorsports Technology program in the summer
of 2007.
YTI has grown significantly from its small beginnings some
47 years ago and now serves a population of approximately
1400 students at it’s four campuses. The YTI schools remain
committed to its mission of serving the career and personal
goals of students and meeting the employment needs of
businesses.
