CONSUMER INFORMATION

To improve the transparency of consumer information and help prospective students and their families make school decisions, PTI has created this page for easy, convenient access to reports and publications.

PTI's most recent catalog, a complete list of textbooks and supplies, a synopsis of FERPA rights as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, and the college's annual security report, fire report and missing persons report all are available from this one page. Additionally there are links to program-specific consumer information.

Catalog
From accreditation and school history to academic information, financial aid funding, and student services, the information contained in PTI's catalog is comprehensive. The college's catalog is published annually during the summer and updated throughout the year by addendum.

Books and Supplies
Books, kits and supplies are available through PTI and can be rolled into the financial plan each student creates during the admissions process. However, for those students and families who would like to know which books, kits, and supplies are needed for their program of study, a complete, detailed list, including ISBN number, is available here.

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 protects students' rights with respect to their educational records. By accessing this FERPA synopsis, students and parents can learn more about inspecting or requesting records, when written permission is needed, and how schools are permitted to use directory-type information.

Clery Act Annual Security Report
Each year PTI publishes its Clery Campus Security Report which provides a three-year review of any reported offenses and crimes occurring on campus, off campus, or on properties adjacent to or accessible from campus.

Missing Persons and Fire Safety Reports
Each year PTI publishes a Missing Persons Report for each on and off campus student housing facility and a Fire Safety Report for each on and off campus student housing and main instructional facility.
