NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

Network Technology Academy Institute (NTAi) admits students of any race, color,
sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and
activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. NTAi does
not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, national and ethnic
origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship,
and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

 Applicants must be 18 years of age.
 Must have a personal interview with school personnel.
 Must be a high school graduate/GED certificate owner
 Must meet course prerequisites.
NTAi has an articulation agreement with Bunker Hill Community College, so NTAi
students are able to transfer credit for course completion to Bunker Hill Community
College for continuing matriculation.
ADMISSIONS PROCESS

To apply for admissions a student must contact NTAi for a personal interview.
During this preliminary interview a counselor will discuss past experience, future
goals and current technical knowledge. The counselor will make suggestions about
a program or course which is most appropriate for the student’s goals.

Depending on a student’s needs, NTAi will offer a monthly payment plan, work
study, 3rd party student loans or an NTAi scholarship (for deserving military/veteran
students). If the student wishes to enroll they must complete an application form
and enrollment form.
Students referred by the Department of Employment and Training Workforce
Development must fill out their part of the Section 30 form which will extend
NTAi Catalog Page 8
Network Technology Academy Institute, Inc.

unemployment benefits to the end of the scheduled training, and any other forms
an NTAi counselor may identify as required.

Every applicant will be entered in the NTAi database.

NTAi does not allow more than 24 students in each class. If there are more than 24
students, prospective students could be asked to either take another program or
come back when the program is restarting. A file is created for each applicant; the
file is kept secure in the administration office.

Applicants are notified of acceptance within 48 hours. If enrolled, potential
students are phoned weekly to answer questions.

On the first day of class each new student will be referred to the website to view
the academic calendar and course curriculum.

TUITION

Tuition includes certification exam costs for enrolled courses and programs
which have been paid-in-full.

Private Education Loans
If a student has not been approved for funding through Workforce Development or
Trade, they will sign a Program/Course Payment Agreement along with a deposit or
sign up for a 3rd party private loan agency.

The payment policy is determined by the private loan agency and the agreement is
made between that company and the student.

Company Sponsored Tuition Reimbursement
Many companies provide tuition reimbursement as part of their employee benefits
package. Students employed full-time should contact the personnel office of their
employer for information about reimbursement programs. Companies often require
that the employee pay the tuition for a subject or program out-of-pocket and then
be reimbursed by the company upon successful completion of the course or
program. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for tuition reimbursement from
their employer.

Other Financial Resources
There are other potential resources that students should consider for financing their
education. Scholarship aid is often available from high school organizations, church
groups, and social, civic, and fraternal organizations with which students or their
parents may be affiliated. Many companies provide scholarship aid for children of
employees, while others directly aid students who work for them while attending
school. Students may also apply for scholarship aid from professional organizations
