The following is a list by department of the requirements that must be met to complete the Pre-Graduation Review process. Due to an extensive audit process, all certificates/diplomas or degrees will be issued within forty-five (45) business days via mail. Additional copies may be obtained anytime thereafter for a $20 charge and requests will be processed online through a partnership with Parchment.
Student Records
The student must submit a Request for Program Certificate/ Diploma or Degree. Students Records will audit the student file to verify all required grades are complete.

[Please note – instructions are available in the Financial Aid Department.] Typically, UTI will receive notification the next business day that a student has completed counseling. The student should check in with Financial Aid to confirm.
Student Accounts
