If credit toward the completion of the program is granted, the applicant will be advanced to the highest level for which he/she can qualify, with a maximum of one module as defined by the Director. For details regarding testing, contact the School's Director. Appointments for Advanced Standing Testing must be scheduled within the first week of schedule classes after the Student's scheduled start date. Requests for advance standing after such date will not be considered. Tuition and available student financial assistance will be adjusted accordingly. In order to be considered for advance standing the Student must be enrolled in one of KTI's Associate in Specialized Business or Associates in Specialized Technology Degree programs and complete the advance study request form prior to the third day of classes after the students scheduled start date.

Credit Transfer

Transfer of credit from an accredited business/technical school, college or university is considered on an individual basis. In general, should courses taken at another institution be duplicated by courses given at Keystone Technical Institute and a student has passed those courses with an equivalent grade of a "B", credit is generally granted at Keystone Technical Institute.

The listing of credits is not meant to imply transferability into college programs. A credit hour is a unit of measure, not necessarily an indication of transferability of credit. The receiving institution, rather than the training institution, decides whether to accept credits for transfer.

NOTE: Credit transfer requests must be accomplished on or before classes begin, but no later than the first week of classes after the student's scheduled start date. No credit transfer requests will be granted after the first week of class.

Tuition Charges & Fees

Tuition charges and fees at Keystone Technical Institute should be looked upon by the student as a wise investment in his or her future career in business. Today, more and more employers are interested in hiring credentialed individuals who possess advanced skills and professional poise rather than untrained personnel. Keystone Technical Institute will be well equipped to immediately begin functioning in a business environment in both a professionally and technically proficient manner.
