MTI of NewYork must receive “proof of graduation” from high school, no later than 14 calendar days following the first day of classes. Students are responsible for providing documentary evidence of high school graduation or the equivalent. Acceptable evidence includes an official school transcript, official college transcript if the student has completed an associate degree, or military documentation that identifies the student’s high school, the school’s location,andthestudent’sgraduationdate.

Students who lack proof of graduation or the equivalent should fill out a High School Transcript Request form; the form is available from the Admissions Department, and the completed form should be submitted to the Admissions Department.

• WonderlicPersonnelTest

• AccuplacerTest

• CPATExamsforATB

MTI of New York recommends or in some cases requires that students take remedial or entrance exams upon enrollment, in English or writing, math, and reading. Accuplacer tests students in arithmetic, basic algebra, reading comprehension,andsentenceskills.

MTI of NewYork uses theWonderlic PersonnelTest as a placement test to determine students’suitability for specific programs. Most career schools have non-competitive admissions, and students may be accepted even without High school Diploma credentials. Placement tests are given to determine English, math, and reading abilities. MTI of New York also uses placement tests in disciplines including computer technologies, and health care programs, for the purposeofofferingstudentswithlowscoresremedialcourseworksotheycanqualifyforstandardcoursework. Students lacking high school diplomas, or the equivalent are required to take the CPAT examination for Ability to Benefit (ATB). The ATB exam measures entry-level skills of applicants who wish to apply to MTI of New York programs(seechartbelow).

ENTRANCEEXAMRETESTING

If an applicant fails to achieve the minimum required entrance exam score, they may take a retest after at least 10 minutes.Iftheapplicantdoesnotearntheminimumrequiredscoreonthesecondattempt, heorshemaymakeathird attempt after at least 24 hours.

REMEDIALCOURSEWORK

Students may be assigned remedial courses in English, reading, or math, according to the results of their placement exams. The purpose of remedial courses is to enhance students’ ability to perform post-secondary-level work and achieve success in their programs. Students do not earn quality points for remedial courses, and these courses do not count toward point totals required for program completion. However, they do count as semester hours to determine a student’s maximum course load and toward attempted credit hours. These courses are awarded grades of pass (P) or fail (F). Failed remedial courses must be repeated. In limited cases, a failed remedial course can be taken twice with theeducationdirector’spermission.

DESCRIPTIONOFCOMPLAINTPROCEDURE INTERNALGRIEVANCEPROCEDURE

Student complaints can often be resolved via discussions with instructors and/or staff members and the grievance procedure. Students are encouraged to contact the President or Director of Education at the first sign of a problem. Studentsshouldfollowthestepsbelowtoaddressanyproblemsandinitiatetheappropriateinvestigation.Studentsare not bound by any suggested resolutions. Students who do not accept proposed resolutions can pursue arbitration, Page 23 of 159

described in the Enrollment Agreement. Students are required to use the grievance procedure before proceeding to arbitration.

The grievance procedure is intended for recruitment, enrollment, attendance, education, financial aid assistance, and career assistance problems, or other school issues. It does not apply to complaints regarding grades or sexual harassment.

MTI of New York and students agree to participate in the grievance procedure in good faith. We receive all student information concerning grievances in absolute confidence and agree to maintain confidentiality in grievance procedures. No reprisals will be taken by any member of the MTI of NewYork administration against any party, and all complaints or grievances will be investigated completely and promptly. If students pursue the grievance procedure to its conclusion, the period during which this process is being pursued by the student will not count toward any statuteoflimitationsregardingthestudent’sclaims.

Steps 1 – Grievances or complaints against an instructor or staff member should be discussed with the relevant individual first. Grievances or complaints involving school policies or classes should be discussed with the instructor first, or the Program Chair, or the student may submit a complaint to the campus Student Services Manager or DirectorofEducation.

Step 2 –If Step 1 does not resolve the matter, the student may submit a written statement of the grievance and a descriptionoftheactionstakensofartothenextstepofauthority,directlyorthroughtheDirectorofEducation.

Step 3 – If Step 2 does not resolve the issue, the next step for the student is to submit a written statement to the President of MTI of New York. Within five days of receiving the written statement, the President will arrange a meeting with the student to discuss the grievance and then investigate. The student will have full opportunity to submit any pertinent evidence. The President will decide within ten business days after completing the investigation, including findings, conclusions, and reasoning. This decision is final. The student’s written complaint, together with thePresident’sdecision,willbecomepartofthepermanentfilesofallinvolvedparties.

The grievance procedure is conceived and designed to address problems promptly and without delay. Hence, the student must initiate the grievance within 10 business days of the incident and must initiate each additional step, if any, within 10 business days after receiving a response or, if no response has been received, after 20 business days. If the aggrieved student fails to take steps as outlined in this procedure within the required timeframes, it will be considered as acceptance of MTI of New York’s most recent proposed resolution. If MTI of New York fails to act within the timeframes described here, the student may decide to go directly to arbitration. The time limits described heremaybeextendedbyagreementbetweenMTIofNewYorkandthestudent.

Failure to engage with course content, with the instructor and/or with peers may adversely impact student academic success. Students who fail to meet the requirements for posting attendance in all scheduled hybrid courses for more than 14 consecutive calendar days may be administratively withdrawn from the Institution. Absences of five days or more have been correlated with increased risk of not successfully completing a course. Students are expected to participate in academic-related activities during each week.

ACADEMICHONESTYPOLICYFORONLINECOURSES

The following outlines academic honesty criteria for an online course. All students participating in an online course willbeheldaccountableforandexpectedtocomplywiththesecriteria.

Students are expected to demonstrate academic integrity by completing their own work assignments and assessments. Effective planning and progress must be accomplished for students to be successful in their degree program of study. Submission of work from another person, whether it is from printed sources or someone other than the student, previously graded papers, papers submitted without proper source citation, or submitting the same paper to multiple courses without the knowledge of all instructors involved can result in a failing grade or be reported to your campus Director of Education for appropriate sanctions or disciplinary actions. All students are expected to adhere to the standardsassetforthintheStudentCodeofConduct.

Our administration, faculty, and students believe strongly in the concept of an honor system. This belief is based on the knowledge that in competitive professional environments, greater emphasis is placed on originality and integrity of ideas and work. All members of the academic community, including faculty, students, and administration, are expectedtoassistinmaintainingtheintegrityoftheschool,whichincludesreportingincidentsthatviolatetheStudent CodeofConduct.

For all online course work, learning events are to be the student’s own work, and group projects are collaborative efforts.
