Universal Technical Institute is committed to maintaining safe learning and working environments for students, employees and third parties. UTI/MIAT prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, and any other legally protected status in the provision of its courses, programs, services or activities.
UTI/MIAT welcomes students who are transgender and does not discriminate based on gender identity or expression. UTI/MIAT provides the following information to help ensure an inclusive experience for students, regardless of their gender identity or expression:
Names and Pronouns
Students who wish to use names and pronouns that reflect their gender identity or expression rather than their birth names may contact Student Services to discuss their needs. The Student Services Director reviews requests and works with students and UTI/MIAT administrators to address students’ requests. For example, if a student wishes to use the name “Jane Doe” rather than the birth name “John Doe,” the Student Services Director works with the student to complete a Preferred Name Change Request document.
Restrooms
Transgender students may use the restroom of their choice, including the restroom that corresponds to the students’ gender identity or expression. For example, a student who is transitioning from male to female may use the women’s restroom. On some UTI/MIAT campuses, a limited number of gender-neutral restrooms may be available.
On‑Campus Support
Transgender students who have questions about this notice may contact the Student Services Department on campus.
How to Raise Concerns
