### [OTECH’s Automotive Technology Program](https://www.otech.edu/2026/otechs-automotive-technology-program/)
**Published:** March 9, 2026
**Author:** avinash@targetriver.com
**Content:**
OGDEN, UT – Students in the Automotive Service Technology program at Ogden-Weber Technical College (OTECH) are gaining real-world experience with industry-standard equipment designed to prepare them for careers in today’s high demand automotive industry. As the automotive industry continues to evolve with electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid systems and advanced safety technology, OTECH is preparing students with hands-on automotive service technician training using industry-standard tools and modern diagnostic equipment.
OTECH’s automotive lab features professional-grade equipment, where students complete engine and transmission tear-down, brake service, tire mounting and balancing, suspension work and advanced diagnostics. The program emphasizes practical training to ensure graduates are workforce ready.
OTECH is one of the few technical colleges in Utah to offer a high-voltage vehicle simulator, allowing students to safely practice procedures used when servicing electric and hybrid vehicles. This technology gives students exposure to real-world scenarios before entering the workforce. “We’re one of the few tech schools here in Utah that has one of these pieces of equipment,” Carlos Orellana, Automotive Service Technology program director said. “It’s very expensive but very useful for some of these modern vehicles.”
In addition to electric vehicle training, the program includes hands-on experience with an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) machine. Students learn how sensors, cameras and radar systems work together to improve vehicle safety and performance.
OTECH students also apply their classroom knowledge through a comprehensive project vehicle build. The vehicle was rebuilt from the ground up, with students assembling the engine and transmission, installing a supercharger, upgrading the rear end, adding Wilwood brakes and completing a full suspension build.
OTECH’s certificate in Automotive Service Technology can serve as part of a long-term educational pathway. After earning the certificate, students may apply their credits toward an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in automotive technology at Weber State University.
Take the next step to start your automotive career — apply to OTECH’s Automotive Service Technology program today and start gaining hands-on experience. For more information, contact admissions or visit otech.edu/admissions

### [Spring: A Time of Rebirth, Renewal, and Growth](https://www.otech.edu/spring-a-time-of-rebirth-renewal-and-growth/)
**Published:** May 29, 2019
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Spring is that beautiful time of year when we celebrate rebirth, renewal, and growth, especially with nature transforming the landscape in which we live. Wherever you look, there is evidence of new beginnings, often sprouting from seeds planted in the past.
That’s what our scholarship donors do. They plant the seeds of success for students like Makayla, a Medical Assisting student. She struggled in high school. Her grades and attendance weren’t good, and she did not have motivation to change. However, she decided she wanted to become an anesthesiologist, and the first step in her career was enrolling in the college’s Medical Assisting program. She found out that high school students could attend tuition-free.
With graduation fast approaching, she knew she needed to find ways to cover her tuition, so she applied for a scholarship.
“When I submitted the application, I was constantly checking my email for anything about the scholarship,” Makayla said. “When I realized I was lucky enough to be accepted, I felt shocked but mainly excited and relieved. The scholarship will make it stress-free while I continue to save up for supplies and future months of tuition.”
She further stated, “I don’t know where I want to work when I am done with my education, but I know I want to do my best to achieve my dreams.” With support from our donors, we know she will.
Many thanks to the following individuals, organizations, and foundations whose gifts were received in the first quarter of 2019:
- Bert L. and Lulu M. Neal Foundation – $5,000
- Sheree Budke – $100

OGDEN, UT – Students on Ogden-Weber Technical College’s (OTECH) SkillsUSA Welding Fabrication team helped the decorated trees glow a little bit brighter this year at Weber School Foundation’s Christmas Tree Jubilee by fabricating the event’s all 60 tree stands.
The project showcased the team’s craftsmanship and growing expertise in the trade, while also giving them an opportunity to contribute to their community:
- **Practical application:** Welding students translated classroom skills into real-world projects, measuring, cutting, and welding steel with precision.
- **Teamwork:** Team members collaborated to design and assemble bases without flaw, reinforcing both technical and problem-solving skills.
- **Community impact:** The team’s work directly supported the Jubilee, a local tradition that raises funds for classroom grants, student scholarships, and educational programs across Weber School District.
- **Off-season practice**: Last year, the team placed first at state for the first time in OTECH history. To keep the momentum going, team members practice skills and prepare for the next round of competition. Projects like this help them refine the skills that win the team medals at the SkillsUSA national competition in June.
Welding fabrication is the process of creating metal structures through welding techniques Students at OTECH learn these skills to be successful professionals an also have the opportunity to demonstrate them through SkillsUSA competitions
Camren Waikart had the opportunity to work on the stands and appreciated the extra experience it gave his team to become more skilled and more collaborative.
“It was a good learning process to understand what’s the best and fastest way to do something. It taught us how to work together and how to streamline processes. When we started, we were doing one per hour and when we finished, we were doing five per hour,” Camren said.
The Christmas Tree Jubilee has long been a highlight of the holiday season in Weber County, drawing families, educators, and community members together to celebrate. The Weber School Foundation holds the annual event to raise money for the district’s students.
Organizations and schools in the community donate a perfectly decorated, on-theme Christmas tree. Then at a later gala, each tree is available for purchase via silent auction. Before going back to their new homes, the trees are on public display at the Eccles Conference Center for a short time before Thanksgiving.
Past funds have been donated to develop teen centers across Weber School District: safe places for students facing challenges such as homelessness, food insecurity, and emotional well-being. This year, funds were donated to the Unified Sports program.
As sparks flew in the welding shop, OTECH’s SkillsUSA competitors weren’t just shaping steel—they were shaping the community and their careers.
“Hands-on experience like this help me become a better welder in my professional life, so I can go back to the shop and even help my coworkers become better welders,” Camren said.
At OTECH, students gain practical hands-on experience that prepares them for real-world welding careers. To learn about the Welding Technology program, speak with a student support specialist, or visit [otech.edu/welder](/welder/).

OGDEN, UT – At OTECH, students like Julia Piedra Santa are turning dreams into careers—thanks to hands-on training, and supportive instructors that made it all possible. A year ago, Julia returned to school to start her career, and today she’s thriving in the Automation Technology program, building confidence and gaining the skills that pay!
Julia began her OTECH journey in the Manufacturing Technology program, where she discovered how much she enjoyed hands-on work. The program didn’t just teach her technical skills—it showed her that she can do hard things.
When it was time to start the electrical systems course, Julia was nervous. Electricity seemed dangerous and intimidating! “There was a time that I was scared of doing this work,” Julia said. “But my instructor, Mike Tolson, saw that and asked me how I was doing. I told him I was scared, but he said, ‘Don’t be — it’s safe.’ and I felt better.” That moment of reassurance made all the difference. And with encouragement from her instructors, Julia’s confidence grew —along with her skills.
Julia works hands on with a motor control system connecting electrical wiring in the Automation Technology lab at Ogden Weber Technical College
To students who might be unsure about learning a new skill or starting a new career, Julia offers this simple advice: “Don’t be scared and be confident. OTECH has made it easier for me than I thought. I didn’t think I was capable of doing this or going back to school — but now I feel confident”.
Looking at going back to school to make a career change, like Julia? Ogden-Weber Tech is the place to start!

OGDEN, UT – Students from local high schools got a behind-the-scenes look at modern manufacturing careers during Ogden-Weber Technical College’s (OTECH) Manufacturing Day event, held Oct. 9.
The event gave students the chance to tour two major employers — ENVE Composites and Williams International — where students saw firsthand the types of careers that begin with training at OTECH.
The goal of the event was to inspire students to consider careers in manufacturing and to introduce them to high-growth industries like Machining, Composites, and Automation Technology.

- In partnership with Seager Memorial Clinic, the event provided free health screenings—including, vaccinations, eye exams, women’s health checks, lab tests and more to 146 community members.
OGDEN, UT – Students in OTECH’s Dental Assisting, Medical Coding and Billing, Nursing Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, and Practical Nursing programs took their skills out of the classroom and into the real world by participating in Seager Memorial Clinic’s Free Health Screening Day.
The event was held on Sept. 27 and provided free screenings to 146 patients. Services provided included vaccinations, eye exams, BMI and blood pressure tests, women’s health screenings, lab tests, and skin checks.
Kelsee Grow, program coordinator for OTECH’s Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy programs explained the importance of these learning opportunities for students.
“We get to throw \[students\] in an environment where they’re working with real patients,” Grow said. “The students get to use the skills they’re learning in class in that real world setting. You’re providing free services to someone who really needs it, and students get to see things they don’t get to see in the classroom. A patient will come in with a condition that you can’t replicate in the lab.”

The Sept. 27 event marks three years partnering with Seager Memorial Clinic to host the event. Attendees received medical attention at no-cost in a welcoming environment and accessed community resources that can further support their health and wellbeing.
The participation of OTECH’s students is critical to overall success of the event, as students assist with patient intake, facilitate screenings and exams, and work alongside licensed providers. This hands-on experience bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience, and provides a meaningful opportunity for students to serve in the community—an experience that aligns with OTECH’s mission to build a prosperous community and prepare students for the workforce.
Valeria Aparicio, a student in OTECH’s Dental Assisting program, served as a Spanish translator during the event.
“I felt proud to serve as a Spanish translator during the health screening event,” Aparicio said. “Helping patients understand their screenings and recommended treatments was incredibly rewarding. I realized how important clear communication is between providers and patients, and it felt good to be an essential part of the process. This experience taught me how to better listen to patients and communicate more effectively to meet their needs.”
At OTECH, experience is everything. Students learn through hands-on experiences just like this to be prepared for work in the real-world. To learn more about OTECH’s hands-on programs, visit otech.edu.

### ["Scholarships Changed Everything" - Joseph’s Automation Journey at OTECH](https://www.otech.edu/scholarships-changed-everything-josephs-automation-journey-at-otech/)
**Published:** October 17, 2025
**Author:** avinash@targetriver.com
**Content:**
Key Highlights:
- Joseph Chadburn’s scholarship made it possible for him to continue studying Automation Technology at OTECH while managing work and living expenses.
- OTECH offers substantial scholarships and financial aid to help students afford tuition, books, and materials.
- Financial Aid advisors are available to help students explore funding options and apply for scholarships.
OGDEN, UT – At Ogden-Weber Tech (OTECH), students like Joseph Chadburn are turning goals into careers—thanks to hands-on training, and a scholarship that helped make it all possible. Joseph grew up just 15 minutes from OTECH and is currently enrolled in the Automation Technology program where he’s gaining the skills that pay!
Why did Joseph choose the Automation Technology program? Because he loves robotics.
“I have an engineering-type mind,” Joseph said. “I like to build things, and I just want to make the world a better place. I figured this program would be a good start.”
At OTECH, students are prepared to excel in the automation industry through hands-on training. From day one, students spend more time learning with real-world tools and from industry experts, than behind books and computers. In the Automation Technology program, students are learning the hands-on skills of motor controls, electrical systems, and industrial mechanics.
For Joseph, this was exciting work but pursuing his career brought the challenge of how to pay for school. After a few months of paying tuition on his own, Joseph decided to look into scholarship opportunities at OTECH. He found one he matched with and applied.
“When I got it, it was a miracle,” Joseph said. “I live and work on my own, so it’s helped financially. It was like an answer to my prayers. If I didn’t get it, I wouldn’t know what would happen.”

Joseph’s experience is just one of several that shows how scholarships can make a difference! At OTECH, there are thousands of dollars available to help students pay for school expenses like tuition, books, and materials, as paying for school shouldn’t be a barrier to reaching career goals.
With graduation on the horizon, Joseph is looking forward to applying the skills he’s learned in the Automation Technology program to a job in the industry —and eventually, open his own business. All goals that wouldn’t be possible without looking into scholarship opportunities.
Financial Aid advisors are available to provide one-on-one guidance for students, so paying for school can be as easy as ever. Students can schedule an appointment with an advisor and explore scholarship opportunities at [otech.edu/scholarships.](/future-students/scholarships-awards/)

Key Highlights:
- OTECH Foundation hosted its annual Donor Appreciation Breakfast, bringing together donors and scholarship recipients to celebrate the impact of charitable support on students’ lives.
- Seven scholarship recipients shared personal stories, highlighting how financial support helped them overcome challenges such as relocation, illness, career changes, and balancing school with family responsibilities.
Every March, the OTECH Foundation hosts the Donor Appreciation Breakfast to honor the generous supporters who transform our students’ lives. This special gathering brings together donors and scholarship recipients, allowing students to express gratitude while donors witness the direct impact of their contributions.
This year, seven scholarship recipients shared their powerful journeys. Here are a few highlights from their remarks:
A Ukrainian Nursing Assistant student spoke movingly about rebuilding life for herself and her children in a new country, expressing profound gratitude for OTECH’s financial support.
A Computer Aided Design student revealed how, after years as a stay-at-home mother, she finally pursued her passion. Her misconception that scholarships were only for “young, fresh out of high school students” and her heartfelt thanks had many donors sharing their own similar experiences.
A Cosmetology student shared her dream of working with theater productions in Salt Lake City. When illness threatened her education, her scholarship became a crucial lifeline.
A recently graduated high school student has completed two OTECH programs and is currently finishing her third program while being a full-time student at Weber State. She shared how grateful she is for OTECH and all the opportunities she has received since starting school here.
A Medical Coding and Billing student shared how illness forced her to change careers. Previously active, she now needs work that allows sitting and working from home. She expressed deep gratitude to donors who eased this transition by covering her tuition costs.
An Industrial Automation student, newly independent and navigating adulthood on his own, expressed how his scholarship has been crucial in helping him manage his financial responsibilities.
We concluded with a Business student who, after 30 years in woodworking, emphasized how his OTECH education transformed his abilities as a business owner.
These stories vividly illustrate how your generosity creates real, life-changing opportunities. Your generous support bridges critical gaps, enabling us to assist students who might otherwise be unable to pursue their educational goals. With a growing student body and increasing need, the OTECH Foundation is intensifying our efforts to connect with more donors who share our commitment to making a difference in our community.

**Author:** Brisa Odenthal

Ogden-Weber Technical College (OTECH) programs create pathways for students to careers, more educational opportunities, and prosperity for themselves and their families. We are pleased to announce that the Utah Legislature has approved funding for a new Pathway Building on campus that will allow OTECH to eliminate waiting lists, improve student services, and help more people than ever learn in-demand skills to transform their lives and strengthen Utah’s workforce.
The 121,000 square foot building will include instructional space and industry-standard labs for high-wage, high-demand programs, consolidated student services, and space to expand existing partnerships with university partners and local school districts.
A study by the Kem C. Gardner Institute found that 31 percent of Ogden-Weber Tech students are economically disadvantaged, more than at any other public higher education institution in the state. Most students attend part time to accommodate work schedules and family responsibilities. Wraparound services and industry-standard educational spaces are critical to give these students the skills and opportunities they need to improve their lives and their family’s future. Thanks to employer-validated credentials, OTECH graduates make an average of $50,000 as they enter the workforce, with no student loan debt.
As we look forward to the new building and all the opportunities it presents, we also celebrate the dedication and generosity of those who support students.

We are thrilled to announce our newest OTECH Student of the Year, Tania Rodriguez! Tania is an alumna of our culinary program and a proud scholarship recipient. In addition to running her successful food truck, Los Churros del Norte, she has also been an active volunteer with the Red Cross.
Tania’s OTECH journey began with a search for her true passion. She explored various programs before finding her calling in culinary arts and her passion for serving the community. During her time in the program, Tania not only honed her culinary skills but also served as a mentor and source of support to her peers.
However, financial hardship threatened to derail Tania’s dreams of completing the program and providing a better future for her family. She approached OTECH’s financial aid office, where she was presented with the opportunity to apply for a scholarship. Thanks to this timely assistance, Tania was able to complete the program and get back on the path to success.
Tania’s story is not unique at OTECH, where students from all walks of life come to learn valuable skills and improve their lives and communities. Our foundation is proud to serve the people of Weber County and surrounding areas, providing the best possible opportunities to prepare our students for success in the workforce.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors. To all of you, we extend our sincerest thanks!

### [Student Stories: How the OTECH Foundation Fosters Student Success](https://www.otech.edu/student-stories-how-the-otech-foundation-fosters-student-success/)
**Published:** April 26, 2023
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Technical education is essential in preparing people for success in the workforce and contributing to the growth and progress of our community. Not only does it provide practical skills and knowledge that can lead to better job opportunities, higher income, and economic growth, but it also helps address skills gaps in various industries promoting innovation and development.
The OTECH Foundation’s goal is to make real the promises of higher education to all it serves. Students with additional financial and family obligations are twice as likely to drop out of school in their first year without additional support. Students are often squeezing in classes between numerous responsibilities while juggling various familial and financial demands. Scholarships help alleviate financial stresses that can hinder successful college completion.
The foundation partners with like-hearted donors to build a prosperous community and create social stability by supporting technical education students through scholarships and student support programs. Lindsey, a scholarship student enrolled in OTECH’s Medical Coding & Billing program said, My scholarship will help me be able to finish school without worrying about how I am going to afford it. I will be able to start debt free and ready to work! Arianna, another scholarship student enrolled in OTECH’s Nursing Assistant program said, I was beyond excited when I received the scholarship. More than anything, I was grateful that someone who had no idea who I was, was willing to help me in my journey to success.
Philanthropic support allows students to realize, often for the first time, that someone believes in them. That belief quickly develops into the expectation to succeed. Your investment is changing lives and helping students achieve their dreams.
Thank you to the donors who make the success of our students possible. The following gifts were received in the first quarter of 2023:

### [Making a Difference: The OTECH Foundation’s Spring Highlights](https://www.otech.edu/making-a-difference-the-otech-foundations-spring-highlights/)
**Published:** March 31, 2023
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
As we anticipate warmer weather and longer days, the OTECH foundation is also celebrating some exciting updates and accomplishments. Here are some highlights from the past few months:
## 1. Annual Donor Appreciation Event
The OTECH Foundation honored outstanding organizations and individuals for their commitment to student success at its annual Donor Appreciation Breakfast on Friday, March, 17, 2023.
In 2019, the OTECH Foundation created the Samuel H. Barker Legacy Award to honor visionary donors. The Samuel H. Barker Legacy award was created in recognition of the Powell Foundation’s legacy of generous donations and is a way to recognize outstanding philanthropic partners. The OTECH Foundation was honored to present the 2023 Samuel H. Barker Legacy Award to the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation. Ms. Hannah Eccles, Executive Director, accepted the award.
The Marriner S. Eccles Foundation has contributed annually to the OTECH scholarship fund, providing $345,000 in direct student support since 1998. These generous donations have helped hundreds of students succeed in their programs and find careers that have changed their lives and the lives of their families. Each donation makes a difference in the community through the support of technical education, and the OTECH Foundation thanks each of our generous donors.
## 2. New Board Members
The OTECH Foundation has welcomed two new board members, Heidi Doman and Shelly Florence.
Heidi Doman has worked in the credit union industry since 1995 and has served as the Vice President of People Success for Wasatch Peaks Credit Union since 2021. In this position she oversees all Human Resource functions for the credit union, and leads a team whose purpose is to engage, develop, and retain their incredible employees. Heidi has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management, and an MBA, both from Western Governors University. She is a wife and mom who loves hiking, hunting, fishing, and off-roading with her family.
Shelly Florence graduated in 2014 from Ogden Weber Technical College. She then began her career in non-profit work and transitioned to public service when Governor Cox appointed her as Utah’s director of boards and commissions. Shelly resigned from the governor’s office to focus on family and community service. She has held leadership roles in Ogden’s Breakfast Exchange Club, Rotary, and Partners in Education. In addition, she serves on the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Weber Davis. Shelly is married to Mike Florence, and they have seven children together. She loves running, hiking, practicing yoga, and watching professional baseball.
## 3. 2023 Student of the Year
Each year, OTECH selects a student who demonstrates excellence in advocating for technical education as the Student of the Year (SOTY). After reviewing and interviewing several nominees, the 2023 SOTY recipient, Joan Shumway was announced.
Joan received a degree from a four-year institution but knew she needed additional experience that she could use to find a lasting career. At OTECH, she found a program that gave her the hands-on skills necessary to succeed.
Four additional students were recognized as 2023 SOTY Finalists, including Savannah Beradini (Business), Megan Lee (Practical Nursing), Whitney Lister (Medical Assisting), and Natalie Vaculin-Blair (Computer Aided Design).
All SOTY finalists received financial aid, several in the form of foundation scholarships. Your support makes a lasting impact on the lives of OTECH students allowing them to excel in their careers and education.

### [Time of Giving](https://www.otech.edu/time-of-giving/)
**Published:** December 1, 2022

The third quarter of the year ends as we head into the season when thoughts turn to helping others and giving gifts to those we care about.
The college’s donors support fundraising campaigns during targeted months of the year but also donate throughout the year to ensure students are successful.
*Need a scholarship?* Donors have your back. They donate funds for annual scholarships as well as endowments that will help students far into the future. Current students have enough stress without having to worry about paying tuition. Kadyn, a student in Non-Destructive Inspection, shares a common story. “The scholarship will help me because it relieves a great deal of burden when thinking about paying for my school,” he said. “I don’t think I could’ve done what I am doing without the funding.”
*Finished a program but can’t pay for costs associated with licensure or certification?* Donors are there to help students reach their goals. Students work hard to complete their programs, so the college has worked with donors to ensure licensure and certification aren’t barriers to employment. Christian, an Information Technology student, said, “This funding will help me secure my future in a career I am personally interested in—not just another job!”
*Does the equipment I’m learning on use the latest technology?* Of course! Over 300 employers serve on advisory committees and provide feedback on curriculum, equipment, classrooms, and labs to ensure students are learning in-demand skills. Employers also donate materials, supplies, and equipment to support programs training future workers.
Many thanks to the donors who give in any form, at any time, and for any reason. The following gifts were received in the third quarter of 2022:
- Airgas – Student Support Services
- ESAB Welding and Cutting Products – Student Support Services

### [It’s Never Too Late](https://www.otech.edu/its-never-too-late/)
**Published:** August 3, 2022

Summer is in full swing, so that can only mean one thing—you’ve missed the deadline to enroll in a program at OTECH. Not true! Programs run year-round, and the college offers two start dates per month.
Carly took advantage of OTECH’s flexible enrollment schedule and enrolled while she was a senior. She noted in early May, “I’m just graduating high school, and I’ve been doing the Dental Assisting program since September! I chose Ogden-Weber Tech College because it was something my school talked about, and I thought it was an amazing opportunity to get ahead of the game and get a certificate in something I truly want to do in my life.”
So that must mean the college only serves “the young.” Not true! The college serves anyone from ages 16 to 65 and beyond.
Carrie has been employed in the medical field for over 20 years after completing a Medical Assisting certificate in her early 20s. Stated Carrie, “I began my journey to get my RN nearly 14 years ago. Due to family situations and finances, I was not able to start the program. When I first decided to jump in and give nursing school my all, I investigated a few options. I remembered how much I learned and what a good experience schooling was at OTECH. Now, thanks to a scholarship, I will be able to achieve my dream.”

### [Small Changes Can Drive Bigger Ones](https://www.otech.edu/small-changes-can-drive-bigger-ones/)
**Published:** February 16, 2022
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
The New Year brings so many new changes…or does it? There’s often a lot of hype around setting intentions, cleaning the “slate,” and starting fresh. Often it can be overwhelming.
Sweeping changes aren’t necessarily needed in order to transform a person’s life. Sometimes smaller, incremental changes are easier to maintain and less stressful.
Wendy is currently employed as a computer technician but decided to enroll in the college’s Information Technology program with the help of a scholarship.
I really enjoy learning and want to continually increase my knowledge in the field, said Wendy. The classes, environment and staff are phenomenal. I was surprised and very grateful for my scholarship. Without this funding help, I would not be able to attend school again for a while. Thank you so much for the help—I won’t waste it!
Wendy could have maintained the status quo in her current job, but one small change—enrolling in the Information Technology program—will provide her with a certificate, computer certifications, and more opportunities for job advancement.

One cannot drive around the community or get on LinkedIn without noticing “Help Wanted” signs and posts by many local employers. Fortunately, the Ogden-Weber Technical College is here to fill employer needs and help build a technically-skilled workforce by assisting those who are seeking to learn new skills or upgrade old ones.
The college has more students on campus this fall than at any point in its fifty-year history. Enrollment has grown 11.68 percent with 4,035 students, making it the largest technical college in the state.
Daniel is a current student and foundation scholarship recipient. He is planning for his future now.
I chose to get into the Software Development program and plan to become a successful creator and developer, he says. I know there will be a high demand in this field for many years to come. I know the competition in this field will also be high, so I want any advantage I can keep to keep up with a growing market.

### [Invest in Yourself](https://www.otech.edu/invest-in-yourself/)

When’s the best time to invest yourself? ANY TIME is the best time! You’re never too young, too old, too busy, or too anything to better yourself. Education is a lifelong process, and it will pay dividends far into the future.
Take Kristi who’s enrolled in the Business program. I am a hard-working mother of three children who has always valued education. I strive to be a constant learner. I am grateful for the opportunity to go to school so that I can be in a better situation to provide for my family, make a good life for us, and be an example to my kids and those around me.
Kristi’s investment in herself will also benefit her employer. I’m working at a company that is only six years old and is experiencing a high rate of growth. I was hoping that I would be in a position to promote from within the company, try something new, learn new things, and be an asset. Her education will help her realize her goals.

### [Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow](https://www.otech.edu/dont-stop-thinking-about-tomorrow/)
**Published:** May 19, 2021
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
It’s been over a year since the college closed in April 2020 in the face of an unexpected epidemic. However, many businesses continued to operate and needed a trained workforce. Community members still wanted technical skills training. As a result, the college cautiously reopened in May 2020 with every possible safety measure in place.
We learned that emergencies of today don’t stop the needs of tomorrow, and the only way through is forward. Fortunately, the college has donors who provided scholarships and emergency COVID relief funding in support of students.
Courtney received a scholarship and noted, “I had crossed my fingers that I could finish the Cosmetology program when I graduated high school, but COVID, of course, postponed that plan a little bit. So thank you for helping me out with this scholarship!”
Ryan received emergency COVID relief funding provided through a donation from Robert and Marcia Harris. Ryan had been working in sales and service for the last 13 years and was doing very well. Ryan shared, “I had no intention of getting a trade skill until COVID-19 hit. My company decided to make some changes, and I ended up losing my commission pay. I realized I needed a specialized skill set. This funding will help pay for not only school but help me keep my house and food on the table.”
Funding also helps remove stress from students so they can focus on their studies. Rachel received Harris emergency funds and related, “When the Financial Aid Office told me of this funding, I was beyond thrilled and so grateful…like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.”
We’ve all learned valuable lessons during this past year. Be kind. Don’t give up. And most importantly, help others when you can.

…so you can be there for others. Students enroll at the college for a variety of reasons—better job opportunities, promotions, or to change their career path. However, many people seek education as a way to give back to their community.
Brayden is a student in the Nursing Assistant (CNA) program and was recently awarded a scholarship. He was ecstatic, stating, “When I got the email, I was driving around with my father. When I opened the email, and it said approved, I pulled over to the side of the road and started to cry. My dream had just become a reality.”
Brayden wants to find employment in healthcare, but more importantly, he wants to help others. “I am a hardworking person who has a passion for helping people. I love getting the change to make other’s lives easier. I was recently hospitalized for five days and was able to see firsthand what CNAs do. They helped me realize that I needed to be in the health field.”
The college is committed to helping one student at a time, and in many cases, that student will assist many others over his or her lifetime. Many thanks to the following individuals, organizations, and foundations who help students of today become the workforce of tomorrow.

As noted in the lyrics of a famous song, “Seasons don’t fear the reaper,” because each period of time is an opportunity for a new beginning. Fall is no different. Though trees are shedding their leaves, farmers are putting their fields to bed, and we are heading toward the conclusion of the year, it’s not an ending. It’s a time of rest. A moment to take stock, get rid of the old, and prepare for the new.
Many of our students are following the same process. Betti was unable to find work in the dental field after moving to Utah. After reviewing her options, she chose to enroll in the Nursing Assistant program and hopes to eventually enroll in Nursing. Scholarships from our donors made this possible. For Betti, her scholarship was especially crucial since financial aid isn’t available for her program.
Changes happen all year long, no matter the season. When students need a change, the college is here to help them. We’re able to do this with the support we receive from our donors.

### [Wrapping Up a Record-Breaking Year at OTECH](https://www.otech.edu/23833/)
**Published:** July 15, 2025
**Author:** Maria Milligan
**Content:**
As fiscal year 2025 comes to a close, we’re proud to share that OTECH has exceeded its academic, graduation, and enrollment goals—marking one of the most successful years in our history. Behind these milestones are not only the dedicated efforts of our faculty and staff, but the extraordinary generosity of our donors, whose support continues to open doors for hundreds of students. This year’s success is a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together to invest in education. Thanks to donor-funded scholarships, more students were able to stay enrolled, complete their training, and begin meaningful careers—without the burden of debt. In many cases, donor support went even further, helping students cover critical costs like licensure and exam fees. These contributions removed barriers and created a clear path forward for graduates to launch their careers with confidence.
At the beginning of the fiscal year, we set a goal to award 1,400 certificates. With the combined support of our admissions, counseling, and instructional teams—and the financial assistance provided by our donors—we proudly awarded a record 1,811 certificates. New enrollment also grew by an impressive 34%, a clear sign that students see the value in pursuing career-focused education at OTECH.
This momentum carried into our spring graduation celebration, held at the Dee Events Center, where we saw one of the largest turnouts to date. The event was filled with pride, joy, and celebration as graduates crossed the stage to mark the culmination of their hard work and the beginning of exciting new chapters.
We especially want to highlight the 459 scholarship recipients who were able to graduate thanks to the support of our donor community. Your contributions didn’t just help them earn certificates, you gave them a moment to celebrate their achievements alongside family, friends, and loved ones. That moment matters, and it’s made possible by you.
To our donors, thank you. Your generosity fuels our mission and transforms lives. As we look to the year ahead, we do so with deep gratitude—and with great excitement for what we’ll achieve together.

The OTECH Foundation awarded 23% more scholarships in 2024 than in 2023. As the college grows, so does the need to help more students overcome financial barriers.

Thanks in part to financial support helping them complete, OTECH graduates have a 99% job placement rate in their field of study.

In 2025, the Foundation is committed to expanding our financial support even further, aiming to meet the growing needs of every student who seeks assistance.

The new 110,000 square foot Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building marks a significant advancement by eliminating student waiting lists, streamlining student services, and reaching more individuals seeking in-demand skills that will transform lives and strengthen Utah’s workforce. The building will feature a small, high-tech Wasatch Peaks branch, state-of-the-art instructional spaces, and industry-standard labs for high-wage, high-demand programs, while consolidating student services and expanding partnerships with university partners and local school districts.
Ogden-Weber Technical College, serving over 6,600 students in 32 programs, focuses on hands-on technical education to prepare students for the workforce. The new Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building will address the college’s infrastructure needs and ensure students are ready for the job market upon graduation. In 2023, OTECH awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships, removing financial barriers and allowing more students than ever to complete technical certificates. At OTECH, thirty-one percent of students are economically disadvantaged and thirty-eight percent come from historically underrepresented groups.
College president James R. Taggart said, “This partnership hits close to home, because both Ogden-Weber Tech and Wasatch Peaks are focused on building prosperity for people right here in Weber County. The investment in student support services and world-class instructional space will change lives and provide pathways to success for decades to come. We are grateful that
Wasatch Peaks is so committed to the success of current and future students and look forward to working closely with them to build additional student support resources.”
Jeff Shaw, President/CEO of Wasatch Peaks Credit Union, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “At Wasatch Peaks, we believe in the power of education to transform lives and strengthen communities. By investing in the Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building at Ogden-Weber Technical College, we are supporting the future workforce and contributing to a vibrant and prosperous community for all.” Additionally, Wasatch Peaks is committed to invest in the following:
- OTECH Branch: Full-service, high-tech credit union branch for students, faculty, staff, and the community
- OTECH student internships in business, accounting, marketing, IT, and other disciplines
- Scholarships for OTECH students
- Student financial literacy simulation software with decision-based learning
The naming sponsorship of the building symbolizes Wasatch Peaks’ core values of community involvement, serving students, and promoting financial literacy. This initiative aligns with the credit union’s mission to create meaningful impact beyond financial services and foster a culture of support and growth within the community. The Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building at Ogden-Weber Technical College will stand as a beacon of opportunity and excellence, providing students with state-of-the-art facilities and resources to acquire valuable skills and chart a path towards a successful future. This significant investment by Wasatch Peaks Credit Union demonstrates a shared commitment to building the next generation of leaders and empowering individuals to “Reach Your Peak!”

### [Notice of Hearing on Ogden-Weber Technical College Tuition](https://www.otech.edu/notice-of-hearing-on-ogden-weber-technical-college-tuition/)
**Published:** February 9, 2023
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Ogden-Weber Technical College is transitioning from clock hours to credit hours to adhere to and align with Utah System of Higher Education policies.
Fees have been converted into the tuition rate to maintain revenue neutrality. In other words, overall costs for students will not substantively change. Students already enrolled in existing clock hour programs will continue under the existing $2 per clock hour tuition rate with a general fee through next year. New students will enroll with the new credit hour model and will be converted to a $95.00 per credit hour tuition rate with no general fee.
All programs are converting to a pay up-front, per course, model per the respective costs above for credit hour or clock hour. The monthly charge and schedule drop model will be eliminated.
Ogden-Weber Technical College, under the direction of Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), is holding a hearing to discuss the changes. The changes would become effective July 1, 2023, if approved.
In accordance with Utah Code Section 53B-7-101.5, all concerned students and citizens are invited to a **public hearing on the proposed change to be held in Cross Hall in the Health Technology Building on February 16, 2023, at 11:30 a.m.**

**Published:** June 8, 2022
**Author:** Maria Milligan
**Content:**
Water is one of Utah’s most important natural resources. Ogden-Weber Technical College is committed to water conservation and following the guidelines outlined by our local experts. Due to current drought conditions and under the direction of the [Utah Department of Government Operations](https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title63A/Chapter5B/63A-5b-S1108.html?v=C63A-5b-S1108_2022050420220504), we have updated our watering schedule:
• Each watering station will only run once per week until June 15, then watering will increase to twice a week until August 15.
• Our irrigation system will not allow for every station to run on a single day. Instead, we will rotate through stations during each watering period.
• Regular watering will only occur between the hours of 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 a.m.
• There may be incidental sprinkler use outside of the approved hours for testing, especially after system repairs.
If you have any questions about our watering schedule and how we are working to conserve water on campus, contact Josh Ulm, Facilities Director at <josh.ulm@otech.edu>.

### [Ogden-Weber Technical College Enrollment Grows 11%](https://www.otech.edu/ogden-weber-technical-college-enrollment-grows-11/)
**Published:** October 28, 2021
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Ogden-Weber Technical College has more students on campus this fall than at any point in its fifty-year history. According to first quarter [data](https://ushe.edu/2021-fall-enrollment/ "First Quarter Data") released by the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), overall OTECH enrollment has grown 11.68% to 4,035 students, making it the largest technical college in the state. The school also saw a 25% increase in early college high school student enrollment.
This growth, especially after such a challenging year, is a credit to the tenacity of OTECH students and staff. Instructors have adapted their programs to allow for hybrid learning options, while maintaining close contact with local industry partners to ensure the curriculum meets employer needs, said OTECH President James Taggart.
Generous donors and state scholarship funds have allowed many new students to attend the college tuition-free. Every day, OTECH alum are sharing their experiences and inviting others to find out what makes tech college programs so beneficial. OTECH is not only growing, it is leading the way by increasing access to all members of our community, said Vice President for Student Services Monica Schwenk. With 33% of the student body coming from underrepresented populations, OTECH is one of the most diverse colleges in the Utah System of Higher Education.
For OTECH, 2021 marks 50 years of providing hands-on technical education to thousands of students in over 34 programs. This year’s enrollment increases will help the college fulfill its mission of building a prosperous community by creating a technically-skilled workforce one student at a time.

### [Aaron Griffin Memorial Scholarship Fund](https://www.otech.edu/aaron-griffin-memorial-scholarship-fund/)
**Published:** October 19, 2020
**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Starting January 2021, Ogden-Weber Technical College Foundation will be awarding a new scholarship in memory of alumnus Aaron Griffin. The Aaron Griffin Memorial Scholarship Fund will assist students that complete the Youth Build program and show a drive and promise to go on and complete additional education at the college.
Aaron Michael Griffin came into this world as a happy, adventurous boy. He lived life on his terms. He left this life the same way. He struggled in traditional school settings but thrived within a vocational, hands-on environment. After being a year behind in his high school credits, he became a part of Youth Build and was able to earn his diploma with honors just one month shy of his 17th birthday. He went on after completing the Youth Build program and a few years later began the Sales and Marketing program at Bridgerland Technical College. He had a taste of academic success and desired more.
Aaron will forever be remembered as a leader and non-conformist, a compassionate giver to friends and the community, a strong work ethic, and for having a great sense of humor and quick wit amongst peers, teachers, and community leaders. The day before his death, he selflessly and without hesitation rescued a woman from a burning car, saving her life and was thus honored at his memorial service by the Plain City Fire Department.

**Author:** Brisa Odenthal
**Content:**
Face masks. Social distancing. Zoom meetings. Back in January, who knew of the changes we would experience in the coming months?
This may be our “new normal,” but in terms of student support, not much has changed at the college. Our donors still care about our students and continue to give, even when the institution closed in April.
Our employer partners donated to initiatives to encourage people to consider careers that will help Weber County’s economy remain strong, even as they struggled to cope with the ups and downs of the market. They know a technical education will pay dividends far into the future.
One donor was concerned about the well-being of students, so he and his wife set up a special emergency fund to ensure no one goes without during these difficult times. As one barbering student noted, “Our shop was closed for a little over a month due to COVID, so being able to pay for school and bills has been pretty hard lately.” Our donors understand students’ basic needs must be met so they can concentrate on their studies.
When the economy goes down, more students go back to school. While the college’s tuition is inexpensive, some people still need help. Our donors generously step in to ensure scholarships are available. Many thanks to the following individuals, organizations, and foundations whose gifts were received in the second quarter of 2020 ($500+):
- Cleanworks – Student Support Services
- L.T. and J.T. Dee Charitable Foundation – Scholarships

**Content:**
The end of the year is generally a happy one, full of celebrations, people looking forward to a new year bursting with possibilities, and often, for the college, last minute donations to support student success and programs. It IS a wonderful time of year to generously give to others!
But do you know what other times of the year provide great opportunities to make a donation?
- **During Admit You’re Happy Month (August).**
- **During Read a Road Map Week (first week of April).**
- **On National Pancake Day (February 25, 2020).**
- **On any day that ends in “y.”**
Any time you can make a donation is a GREAT time to make a donation. Any amount you can afford to donate is the RIGHT amount. The college and students benefit from a single dollar as well as thousands of dollars.
Donors help people like Rosendo, a student in the Machinist program. He’s had a passion for machining since high school and enrolled in the college’s program in 1999. He didn’t complete at that time due to work responsibilities, but he’s back—20 years later—as a scholarship recipient, ready to upgrade his skills and finally graduate.
We were fortunate to end 2019 with a generous outpouring of support. We’re sending our heartfelt gratitude to the foundations and companies that support our mission and invested in students during the fourth quarter of 2019:
- **George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation – $20,000**

There are just so many reasons to love the season—where to even begin? In a perfect world, everyone would be able to use the summer months to slow down, relax, and catch his or her breath. However, with a bustling economy and jobs waiting to be filled, more people than ever are enrolling at the college to upgrade their skills or learn new ones, no matter the season.
Fortunately, our donors never take a break either, and the college receives scholarship donations all year long. With more people seeking a college education, these investments in students are needed and appreciated.
As one scholarship student stated, “I just wanted to say you for your support in my choice of completing the CNA course. I am a full-time mother, and I am working, so each little bit helps make it a little bit less stressful when it comes to paying for schooling.”
Many thanks to the following foundation that invested in the success of students in the third quarter of 2019:

**Content:**
Did you know the average student loan debt amounts to $38,390? Fortunately, Ogden-Weber Technical College is mandated by law to provide technical training at low cost to adults and at no tuition cost to secondary students.
Regrettably, there are still students who struggle to cover the costs of tuition, fees, and materials. The college is fortunate to have many generous donors with the vision and willingness to invest in the success of those in need.
Many of the college’s students fall in the low-income category, and any financial amount can be a barrier to enrollment or completion. That’s where scholarship donations bridge the gap. With as little as $100 per student, one donor helped **eight** Nursing Assistant students achieve their educational and career goals. Three of those students graduated; four are still enrolled; and one new student will be starting the program in the near future.
As one Nursing Assistant student said upon receiving his scholarship, “I was really grateful and excited. Grateful because we don’t have that much money, and every dollar counts. Excited because I feel that I am that much closer to becoming a nurse due to this assistance.”
Low in price, but priceless to students.
Many thanks to the following individuals, organizations, and foundations whose gifts were received in the second quarter of 2019:

*“From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”
– Arthur Ashe*
The end of the year is a time for reflection—what have I done? And more importantly, what can I do? Fortunately for the college, we have donors who give generously to our Scholarship Fund so that students have an opportunity to learn skills that will help them make a life and a living.
Says Sarina: “I feel like there is hope for me to finally meet my goals. I feel like I can change my life as well as the lives of other. There is light at the end of my tunnel.”
Jessica notes: “I was a stay-at-home mom for 16 years. I found myself divorced and needed to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I am so very grateful to have this scholarship!”
And Jordan commented: “I was elated. I don’t usually get things like this. I have worked my entire life, and the only award I have really received is my paycheck. To see that someone saw me and decided I was worth investing in was a great feeling.”
Many thanks to the following donors whose gifts were received in the last quarter of 2018:

### [Trick? Or Treat?](https://www.otech.edu/trick-or-treat/)
**Published:** October 26, 2018
**Author:** rumor
**Content:**
No contest—ALWAYS go for the treat. Who *wouldn’t* want something that makes them feel good on the inside?
With scholarship donations, that feel-good sensation works both ways. On the one hand, our donors invest in student success because they understand the challenges and rewards of ensuring that Utah has a technically-skilled workforce. It makes them feel good knowing they’re making a difference in students’ lives and in the community. As one foundation stated, “It is a pleasure to partner with you in reaching your goals, knowing that our investments in education are key to the future strength and vitality of our state.”
On the other hand, students feel good because they’re receiving funding that will help ease their financial burdens and allow them to graduate debt-free. Upon learning that he received a scholarship, student Duston said, “I felt proud, grateful, and relieved. This scholarship will allow me to continue my course, help me to meet my future goals, and ultimately help me to provide for my family.” Duston is just one example of the many students who are helped by our donors every day.
Thank you to the following donors whose “treats” were received in the third quarter of 2018:

Ahhh, yes!
Languid afternoons by the pool.
Kayaking on the river.
Biking in the mountains.
Don’t we wish! While a good portion of the community is enjoying the best of what summer has to offer, school is still in session at the Ogden-Weber Technical College. That means students are in class, working hard to achieve their educational and career goals. Being open year-round makes it possible for individuals to get in, get out, and get hired as quickly as possible.
Scholarships help make dreams a reality, especially for high school seniors who receive funds that allow them to continue their education at the college right after graduation. One of the college’s main priorities is helping them complete a certificate, especially if they started a program while in high school. Scholarship funding from generous donors helps support that mission.
Many thanks to the following individuals, companies, and foundations who contributed to scholarships in the second quarter of 2018:
- FJ Management – $10,000
- Stella H. Oaks Foundation – $1,000

How does US Bank multiply its impact? By partnering with Ogden-Weber Technical College’s YouthBuild program. The result is a partnership based on the belief that all people deserve the opportunity to dream, believe, and achieve.
US Bank has been a strong supporter of YouthBuild students, contributing $14,500 since 2013.
Michelle Garcia, US Bank’s Vice President & Community Relations Manager, was excited to see the results of her company’s investment when she visited on June 20. Ms. Garcia spent an entire morning visiting program areas and learning about YouthBuild’s mission to help disconnected youth succeed.
Thanks to US Bank’s steadfast commitment, YouthBuild students are able to build career-readiness skills and enter the workforce or prepare for further post-secondary education.

**Published:** April 26, 2018

**Content:**
With the slow slide into spring, many students’ thoughts are turning to the end of the “traditional” school year or the end of their high school education. At the college, we see endings leading to new and exciting beginnings every day, like high school students getting a start on their chosen career paths right after they graduate. Or currently-employed people coming back to school to sharpen their skills.
Whatever their circumstances, we know that technical education is a foundation that every person can build upon. And scholarships are one of the best tools we have to encourage people to start their new beginnings here. The funds offer our students some measure of financial stability so they can complete their programs and get to work.
Thank you to the following donors who contributed to scholarships during the first quarter of 2018:
- Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation – $6,000
- Val A. and Edith D. Green Foundation – $5,000
- Marriner S. Eccles Foundation – $15,000
- Ogden-Weber Chamber Women in Business Committee – $1,000
- Utah Medical Association Foundation – $5,000
For questions regarding any of these contributions or interest in investing in success, please contact Monica Schwenk, development director, <monica.schwenk@otech.edu>, 801.395.3781.

The name may have changed, but the community commitment remains steadfast. When Questar merged with Dominion Energy last year, their commitment to the community was bolstered.
Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation awards an average of $20 million annually in four focus areas: human needs, environmental stewardship, community vitality, and education.
On March 2, Dominion Energy’s Senior Philanthropy Coordinator, Debra Hoyt, presented President James R. Taggart and Development Director Monica Schwenk with a $6,000 check to support scholarships at the Ogden-Weber Technical College. The funding will provide 3-5 scholarships for business, information technology, construction, and manufacturing programs.
A heartfelt thanks to Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation’s commitment to technical education.

What do shamrocks and donors have in common? The three leaves of a shamrock are said to stand for faith, hope, and love. It’s a perfect symbol of a donor who invests in the education of someone they’ve never even met.
At the Donor Appreciation Breakfast on March 16, 2018, board members and outstanding scholarship students celebrated the most generous investors of 2017. Like a light in the window, their support is a beacon for talented students eager for a better life.
In total, 227 donors contributed to support students at the Ogden-Weber Technical College Foundation. The foundation received $507,179 of cash and in-kind contributions. The outcome is a result of outstanding support from the community, business partners, private foundations, college employees, board of directors, and foundation trustees.

**Content:**
When the new year rolls around, some people resolve to lose the 10 pounds that mysteriously appeared between October and December the previous year (yes, chocolate chip cookies, we’re looking at you). Others resolve to hit the gym with renewed fervor (at least for the next three months).
And then there are those who have resolved to change another person’s life for the better. Visionary donors who invest in scholarships. Supporting students who need funds for a full year of training and others who just need a few hundred dollars to complete their programs.
None of this would be possible without our donors’ firm resolve to help students. The college’s donors supported 275 scholarship students in 2017.
Many thanks to the following individuals, companies, and foundations who contributed to scholarships in the fourth quarter of 2017:
• Cross Charitable Foundation – $25,000
• George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation – $20,000
• Richard K. and Shirley S. Hemingway Foundation – $11,200
• Innovative Precision LLC – $1,500
• JTT Investments – $1,000
• Kimberly-Clark – $900
• Samuel C. and Myra G. Powell Foundation – $20,000

### [NASA Scholarship Awards](https://www.otech.edu/nasa-scholarship-awards/)
**Published:** January 2, 2018
**Author:** rumor
**Content:**
The Rocky Mountain NASA Space Grant Consortium offered a $500 cash stipend to assist students enrolled in programs that support the aerospace industry. We are pleased that we offer programs here at the Ogden-Weber Tech College which relate to the work that goes on in aerospace.
Criteria was based on a student’s attendance, progress and career objective. I am pleased to award this scholarship to:
**Andrea Hughes**: Andrea spent her early twenties in the USAF. After her military service, she spent an enormous amount of time overseas since her husband is also in the military. She said that although she had attended college, she wasn’t fully committed. Her “aha” moment came when she was driving down the street and saw the Ogden-Weber Technical College sign shouting at her: “NDI Program – Enroll now”! So the very next day, she visited the college and enrolled.
She said she had a novice understanding of the scope of work involved with NDI, but she was excited and determined this would be her future career path. Over the last three months, her confidence has skyrocketed, and she is looking forward to receiving her certificate and finding a job in the industry. She said it is a perfect fit!
As a student, her overall progress is 143% and her attendance is 89%. She is excelling in the program and looks forward to using her skills in the industry.
Jan Burton Financial Aid Manager James Taggart president Andrea Hughes award recipient
**Pamela Titensor**: Pamela is a single mom with two children. She wants to get the training in a field that she know will support her family. She is struggling to make ends meet. She is attending school full-time and working doing odd jobs so she can get through the program.
She wants to complete her certificate in the NDI program and is doing well. Her overall progress is 100% and her attendance is 89% overall. She is looking forward to using her skills in a job working on a military base or in the aerospace industry.
She said she is excited to be able to use her skills to no longer live in poverty and prove to her children that you can succeed and make your dreams come true!
Jan Burton Financial Aid Manager Pamela Titensor award recipient and Andrea Hughes award recipient
**Dillon O’Dell**: Dillon has excelled in the Software Development program. Since he was young, he has always wanted to become a programmer. He has fought hard to find a way to get an education. Last year, he had hit a financial rough patch, and decided to try and return to school when he found out he qualified for some grant money to assist him financially.
Dillon started in the summer of 2017, and he because he loves it so much and “it makes sense to him”, he will be completing this program in half the time! His attendance is overall 96% and his progress is at 198%.
This stipend will help Dillon take some additional courses when he completes his certificate so he will be ready to go out in the workforce.

Disclosure of Tuition

Enrollment fees and other commonly charged fees are non-refundable. For specific information, please refer to the OTECH policy 530.9 Student Tuition, Fees, and Refunds.
Why is OTECH going cashless?
OTECH has opted to go cashless, like many other Utah campuses and businesses, to avoid the risk and costs associated with cash handling. A cashless environment allows us to utilize modern technology to simplify our processes while minimizing risk to help keep costs low.
I do not have a bank account / debit card / credit card. How can I make payments at OTECH?
Prepaid debit cards are available at most grocery stores, gas stations, etc. You can use cash to load money onto a prepaid debit card (which does not require a bank account). Once money is loaded on a prepaid debit card, the card can be used to make payments at OTECH.
Where will I need to use a card to make payments at OTECH?
All tuition, books, materials, college store merchandise, Campus Grille, and Cosmetology Salon services and products will need to be paid for with a card. We will not be able to accept cash for any tuition, products, or services.
Can I tip using cash at the Cosmetology salon?
Yes, you can still tip students at the salon using cash. However, we will not have any cash available to make change, so salon clients will need to bring exact cash if choosing to tip. Please be aware – we are also unable to accept tips for students on credit card payments.

# Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building
Now under construction, the new Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building will allow OTECH to eliminate waiting lists, improve student services, and help more people than ever learn in-demand skills to transform their lives and strengthen Utah’s workforce.
##### A Pathway to New Opportunities
The college has grown substantially, with a 35% increase in new enrollments in the last year alone. Current buildings don’t have the capacity to keep up with the increased demand, and many programs have waiting lists. In 2024, the Utah State Legislature approved funding for a new building on campus that will allow us to serve 2,000 more students a year. This building will provide instructional space for high-wage, high-demand programs, consolidated student services, and space to expand existing partnerships with universities and school districts.
The OTECH Foundation is raising additional funds to make sure the new building will meet the needs of students for decades to come. We are grateful to Wasatch Peaks Credit Union for their two-million-dollar investment in the project, which will be named the Wasatch Peaks Pathway Building in honor of their support. Other areas in the building will be named for the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation, George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, L.T. and J.T. Dee Charitable Foundation, and other generous donors.
#### Donate Today
Your donation will go directly to support the building and the generations of students who will benefit from it. For larger donations and naming right opportunities, contact Maria Milligan at <maria.milligan@otech.edu>.

“OTECH prepares grads for our industry’s workforce by giving them the fundamentals of theory and hands-on experiences.”
Chris Jensen, Tech Support Supervisor, Autoliv
I had never cut hair in my life. But the barbering instructors were amazing and it was all hands-on training. Everyday I learned something new and made sure I mastered each skill.
Kenzey Hadley, Barbering
Graduating with my OTECH Graphic Design certificate before even finishing high school gave me an amazing head start
Diego Rojas-Otero, Business, Graphic Design
Mike Tolson, Industrial Automation Coordinator
Kami Singleton, Nail Tech Instructor
Monica Jenkins, Graphic Design Instructor
I love the ability to do my program remotely. I can do my online class work early in the morning, middle of the day, the evenings – I love it. I have monthly check in meetings and intro meetings at the beginning of every course to set me up for success. It’s fantastic for a remote program.
Reuth Kienow – Pharmacy Technician
The instructors help you so much. They all have different perspectives because they’ve been working and are so good at helping you learn skills. They are so understanding and they want you to come to school.
Anastasia Herrera – Dental Assisting
I had a good experience here. I liked the dedication of the instructors. They really cared about you. You get free parking, tuition’s cheap, you can apply for scholarships and the chance of you getting them is high. It’s a great school.
Daniel – Practical Nursing
Now that my children have grown and left the nest, it’s my turn to go out into the world and have a career. And deciding to go to OTECH was a very easy decision. The classes are self-paced, up-to-date with what industry standard is. And whenever I need help, it’s personal and very one-on-one.
Kris Fowers – Computer Aided Design
All of the instructors really do care. They want you to succeed and they want to find what makes the best environment for your success.
Victoria Wood – Cosmetology

## Education changes everything.
The foundation believes the connection between education and prosperity is direct and powerful.
Education provides individual opportunity, social vitality, and economic stability—critical to improving the lives of youth, adults, and families.
Few investments yield a higher return than post-secondary education. It is the key to moving people out of poverty and into jobs with sustainable wages.

### [Complainant Information](https://www.otech.edu/title-ix/complainant-information/)
**Published:** January 27, 2026

## Information for Claimants
A “Complainant” is someone who may have experienced dating or domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. If this describes your situation, support is available. The information below explains your options and links to resources that can help.
Dating or domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are crimes. You are not responsible for another person’s harmful actions. Sexual misconduct, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation also violate OTECH policy.
If you have experienced any of these behaviors, OTECH is here to support you. The college can provide supportive measures to help keep you safe and ensure you can continue your education—whether or not there is an investigation.
##### What Should I Do If I Am Sexually Assaulted?
###### 1. Assess your safety
If you are not safe, contact a trusted family member, support person, or call 911 immediately.
###### 2. Seek medical attention
Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, consider visiting a hospital emergency room for medical care and forensic evidence collection. Medical professionals can help assess risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. The cost of this exam is covered by the Utah Office for Victims of Crime under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)—you will not be billed.
###### 3. Preserve potential evidence
If you’re unsure about undergoing a forensic exam, preserving evidence may still be helpful later. Save clothing in a brown paper bag (avoid plastic), and try not to shower, wash, or brush your teeth.
###### 4. Know your reporting options

# Employer Sponsorships
OTECH’s programs combine paid, industry-relevant training with classroom and lab instruction, providing employers the opportunity to sponsor employees in related programs to enhance their skills and support workforce development.
#### Overview
The college’s programs are designed to include individuals who are currently employed in their respective fields.

Ogden-Weber Technical College is an inclusive campus dedicated to embracing, celebrating, and valuing our community. The college seeks to create an environment that supports equal access to employment and technical education for all involved.
If your goals include a technical education with job placement in a training-related field, we want you to be a part of the college!
We’ve included the answers to frequently asked questions below. If you have further questions, please contact: <admissions@otech.edu>
#### Frequently Asked Questions
Am I considered to be an undocumented student?
A student who is not a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident and who does not currently possess a permanent resident card, naturalization papers, visa, or other legal documentation is considered an undocumented student. This even includes those born outside of the U.S. who have lived in this country for a significant portion of their lives.
Will the college check my residency status?
The tech college does not check state residency or citizenship status for enrollment purposes.
What information do I provide the college?
The tech college asks for a Social Security number on the application form because tuition and fees may be tax-deductible for some students. Providing a social security number is optional, but it must be given if you wish to take a student tax deduction or receive a tax form (called a 1098T) at the end of the year.
If you do not have a Social Security number, or you do not want to provide one, there are three alternatives when applying:
1. Provide an ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number), which you can obtain from the Internal Revenue Service (English or Spanish)
2. Select the option to refuse to enter your SSN for college purposes (and acknowledge you will not get the 1098-T tax form or be able to take a deduction to claim a tuition and fees or education credit)
3. Choose the “I do not have a Social Security Number or ITIN” option
Student privacy is protected under federal laws, and the college takes this very seriously. Social security numbers are not shared with outside entities, other than to the IRS for tax purposes. An ITIN looks just like a Social Security number. The college has no way of knowing whether you provided a social security number or an ITIN. We do not compile or share lists of student citizenship status.
What about programs that lead to a license from the state?
Programs below will require a social security number and/or proof of legal employability in order to obtain licensure through the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL):
- Barbering
- Cosmetology
- Nail Technician
- Electrical Apprenticeship
- Plumbing Apprenticeship

What if I’m an international student?
The tech college is unable to admit students who are in the United States on a student visa, due to extensive federal regulations. If you are a student studying in the United States, under a student visa, please stay in compliance with your visa status.
Who can help me if I have questions?
Tech college faculty and staff are here to help you achieve success.

Will I be eligible for a scholarship?
Achievement-based scholarships are available for all students. “Achievement-based” means you will be evaluated on your academic performance at the college. The Scholarship Review Committee meets every month to evaluate scholarship applications.
The requirements for an achievement-based scholarship are:
- U.S. citizen, an eligible non-citizen, or a non-U.S. citizen with a Utah high school diploma (Proof of eligibility is not required during the application process. If a scholarship is awarded, the financial aid office will provide further instructions.)
- 100 hours attended in program
- 80% satisfactory academic performance in program
- Enrolled in a program that leads to a certificate (no Math for WSU, individual classes, or programs less than 400 hours)
More information about scholarships [can be found here](/future-students/scholarships-awards/).
Can I apply for financial aid?
Undocumented or deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) are not currently eligible for any federal financial aid programs. However, we do have scholarships you may qualify for.
If your parents are undocumented, but you aren’t, you may apply for financial aid. You enter zeros (000-00-0000) for their social security number on the FAFSA application.

## DACA Update
On July 16, 2021 a U.S. district court in Texas declared the DACA program unlawful. What does this mean for me?
- If you currently have DACA, this decision does not cancel or terminate your rights
- If you currently have and need to renew your DACA, you may do so—the decision does not impact those who already have DACA
- If it has been over a year since your DACA expired, you will need to file as if it were an initial application and the USCIS is currently unable to process initial requests
- If you are a first-time applicant, you CAN file an initial application, but it will not be processed, as the order does not allow USCIS to process any initial requests
Contact our Director for Admissions, Maria Caballero, if you have any questions.

Sexual Misconduct, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Prevention
Students, staff, and faculty at OTECH have the right to live, learn, and work in an environment that is free from all forms of sexual misconduct (including sexual assault), domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
OTECH’s Non-Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence and Related Conduct, and Student Code of Conduct policies prohibit such conduct.

**Reporting**
OTECH encourages the reporting of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Reporting is the only way the college can provide remedial assistance, institute protection procedures for the reporter and others, and take whatever actions are necessary to respond to the report. Offenses such as sexual intercourse without consent, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking are considered criminal violations of the law. OTECH encourages reporting these to the police as soon as possible, but if a student chooses not to report immediately, a report can be made later.

The following options are available to all students, faculty, and staff.
- Report and pursue criminal charges through the Campus Safety Department, [801-627-8471](tel:801-627-8471) and OPD or 911 in the event of an emergency. The [Live Safe App](https://www.otech.edu/livesafe-app/) is also available to file an anonymous report if you choose.

- - Report and pursue and pursue both criminal charges and initiate proceedings under [Federal Title IX](https://www.otech.edu/title-ix/) grievance procedures.
- Report the incident to the [Campus Safety Department](https://www.otech.edu/about-us/security/), but choose not to pursue criminal charges.
- Report and/or seek confidential support from [local community resources](https://www.otech.edu/title-ix/campus-resources/).

The college can implement interim measures to prevent serious and immediate harm to the complainant and others; prevent retaliation against the complainant, the alleged perpetrator and/or witnesses; end discriminatory or harassing behavior and prevent its recurrence; and provide appropriate training on issues related to discrimination, sexual misconduct, domestic/dating violence, or stalking.

##### Donation Information
What is A Time of Giving?
This annual fundraising campaign enables OTECH employees, board members, and community partners to directly support student success.
As OTECH grows, so does the need for scholarships and other student support. Every penny raised supports OTECH students. Even $1 or $2 per pay period, combined with other donations, can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
Why give?
31% of OTECH students are economically disadvantaged, more than at any other public college or university in the state. Your support helps students overcome financial barriers while juggling the many additional demands of life.
If you join the Investors’ Circle by making a sustaining pledge, your gift can continue to help students beyond this year.
Endowed Giving
As the college grows, so does the demand for scholarships and other student support initiatives. Donors may elect to create an endowed scholarship fund to ensure funds are always available for future students. Named donor-directed endowed scholarship funds are established with gifts of $25,000 or more. As interest accrues in the fund, annual scholarships are awarded from that growth.
Donors who create an endowed fund may select the criteria for scholarship awards, including college program, student background, financial need, and other factors.
The OTECH Foundation will help you outline scholarship criteria so the fund achieves your goals while helping as many students as possible complete their education and start a sustainable career.
Legacy and Planned Giving
You may also choose to leave a lasting gift for OTECH students in your will or estate plan, or through annual planned giving. Bequests and deferred gifts are an easy way to leave a legacy for generations of OTECH students.
Donors may choose to become legacy givers through their will, a charitable gift annuity, beneficiary designation in a retirement plan or insurance policy, charitable remainder trust, gifts of life insurance, and more.
The OTECH Foundation will work with donors to explore options for legacy and planned giving, including how the donated funds will be used in the future. Legacy gifts of $25,000 or more may be used to create named, donor-directed endowment funds.

## Transcript and Records Verification Requests
## Requesting a transcript? We'd love an update.
[ Tell us what's new! ](https://otech.tfaforms.net/f/AlumSurvey)
## Official Transcripts
An official transcript is a secure document that shows a student’s full academic history, including completed courses, grades or mastery, and certificates or degrees received. It includes the institution’s official seal, is electronically verified, and sent securely to ensure authenticity.
Official transcripts are $10.00 and are usually required for college admissions, transferring credits, or applying for professional licenses. They are issued through the Student Records office and sent securely through Parchment
[ Order Official Transcripts From Parchment ](https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/50260799/account)
## Unofficial Transcripts
An unofficial transcript shows the same academic history as an official transcript. It is not electronically verified or secured, so it’s used for more unofficial purposes. For example, when an employer or sponsor needs a quick verification of completed courses.
### How To Order
Unofficial transcripts are FREE. Students can find their unofficial transcripts in the [online student portal](https://portal.otech.edu/Portal). After logging in, go to the “Reports” section where unofficial transcripts and other verifications can be reviewed and printed.
[ Student Portal ](https://portal.otech.edu/Portal/Student/Login)
## Records Verification Requests
OTECH follows the policies outlined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Any request for student information that is not considered directory information requires a signed release form from the student. This form can be found here or in the Student Records office.
Students can request:
- Enrollment Verification
- Never Been Enrolled Verification
- Certificate Reprints
- Unofficial Transcripts
- Other types of student records
[ Student Record Request Form ](https://otech.bplogix.net/form.aspx?pid=19acaaba-4750-43c5-b564-c488aeb093a0&formid=6eac48cb-7244-4c2f-8796-7b2a9bef32d3&nohome=0&completepageprompt=0&completepage=https://www.otech.edu/confirmation/&completetext=)
## Self-Service Options for Current Students
Current students may also access common verification reports directly in the [online student portal](https://portal.otech.edu/Portal). After logging in, go to the “Reports” section to view and print items such as:
- Program enrollment
- Class schedules
- Unofficial transcripts
- Progress reports
- Completion evaluations.

Do you allow leaves of absence (maternity leave, active duty deployment, etc.)?
Because the program structure is lockstep, lecture-based, and has scheduled clinical shifts, leaves of absence can be difficult to accommodate. However, every effort is made to do so.
How does the selection process work?
- Because the number of applicants always exceeds the number of available spots, we use a competitive point application process to select the most qualified applicants.
- Applicants are evaluated on four criteria: cumulative grade point average, direct hands-on patient care experience, completion of required prerequisite courses, and other formal education. Previous qualified applicants and alternates will also be awarded points.
- Points are awarded for each criterion as shown in the table below.
| Criteria | Maximum Points |
|---|---|
| GPA | 5.5 |
| Prerequisite courses | 5 |
| Associate’s degree or higher (AAS, AS, AA, BS, BA, MS, MA) or a certificate from a 900-hour tech college program | 1 |
| Patient care experience | 5 |
| Alternate in previous application cycle | 0.5 |

## Student Email Policies
Ogden-Weber Technical College provides students with an OTECH email address to enable faculty, staff and administrators to communicate more effectively and efficiently with students. Appropriate use of email is essential to the success of this method for contacting students.
### Responsibility for checking your email regularly
Email is an official mechanism of communication within OTECH.
Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with College-related communications. Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communications may be time-critical. “I didn’t check my email”, an error in forwarding mail, or email returned to the College with “Mailbox Full” or “User Unknown” are not acceptable excuses for missing official College communications via email.
### Using other email accounts
Students wishing to have email redirected from their official OTECH address to another email address (e.g., @aol.com, @hotmail.com, or some other email account), may do so, but at their own risk. The carrier will provide a mechanism that allows students to forward their official OTECH email to another email address. The OTECH will not be responsible for the handling of email by outside vendors. Having email redirected is the responsibility of the student.
### Educational uses of email
Faculty will determine how electronic forms of communication (e.g., email) will be used in their classes. They can make the assumption that students’ official OTECH email accounts are being accessed, and use email for their communication accordingly.
### Privacy, security, and confidentiality
Electronic mail systems should in no way be regarded as a secure medium for the communication of sensitive or confidential information. Because of the nature and technology of electronic communication, the College can assure neither the privacy of an individual’s use of electronic mail resources nor the confidentiality of particular messages that may be created, transmitted, received, or stored thereby.
## Canvas Information
If you’re taking a course that uses our Learning Management System, Canvas by Instructure, keep an eye on your student email for an invitation from instructure.com. Inside that email, click on the link to Canvas, and it will take you to the login page.
Your Canvas username and password match the username and password for your student email.

## Hazing Prevention & Reporting
Ogden-Weber Technical College is dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment for all students. Hazing in any form is unacceptable and violates our community standards. This webpage provides resources and information about hazing prevention, reporting procedures, and the college’s policies.
##### What is hazing?
Hazing is any act that intentionally or recklessly endangers the physical, mental, or emotional well-being of an individual as part of initiation or membership in a group.
- It occurs in a group context
- It includes humiliating, degrading, or endangering behavior
- It can happen regardless of an individual’s willingness to participate: regardless of consent
##### Why is hazing harmful?
Hazing can cause severe physical, emotional, and psychological harm, leading to long-term trauma such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
It disrupts academic performance and social relationships. It creates a culture of fear and exclusion, and undermines trust and respect.
##### Hazing Resources
Some hazing behaviors violate college policy and may also be illegal under state and federal law.

##### How to Report Hazing
The college takes all reports of hazing seriously. We encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed hazing to report it.
You can report hazing by contacting <complaints@otech.edu> or OTECH Safety ([801-430-5139](tel:801-430-5139)).
To see all hazing reported, please review our [Annual Security Report](/wp-content/uploads/2025-Annual-Security-Report.pdf).

[ Email OTECH Complaints ](mailto:complaints@otech.edu)
##### Hazing vs. Team Building
- Hazing: humiliates and degrades, tears down, creates division, involves shame and secrecy, is adult bullying
- Team Building: promotes respect and dignity, supports and empowers, creates teamwork, involves pride and integrity, is a shared, positive experience
Hazing incidents often start with power imbalances, where individuals in positions of authority or seniority exert control over newcomers.
Examples of power imbalances: instructors and students, senior students and junior students, alumni and current students, student organization leaders and members not in leadership positions.
Before acting, ask: “Would you tell the parents of your friends what you are doing?”

##### Reporting and Investigations FAQ
What is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination and harassment in an educational setting. Covered offenses include sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking and sex discrimination.
Can I report anonymously?
You may submit a report anonymously by clicking the **Report an Incident** button above. Please be aware that choosing to remain anonymous may limit our ability to respond or offer the supportive measures we typically provide. Without a way to contact you, we aren’t able to share resources, offer guidance, or assist with an investigation.
What happens after I file a report?
Once a report is received, the Title IX Coordinator will carefully review it. If you’ve included your contact information, we will reach out to offer supportive measures, share available resources, and invite you to meet to discuss your options. Participation is completely voluntary. If you choose to meet, we will walk you through the process and explain the support available.
What if I don't want an investigation?
We can usually honor your request not to move forward with an investigation. However, if there are safety concerns, we may have to proceed. Our goal is to address the behavior and help prevent it from happening again.
What is the difference between an informal investigation and a formal resolution?
An informal resolution happens when both sides agree to resolve the issue voluntarily without a formal process. A formal investigation involves gathering facts and following a set process that ends with an official decision.
How long does an investigation take?
We work to complete all investigations as quickly as possible. The time it takes can vary based on the case, individual needs, schedules, and other important factors.
Will I ever be required to meet with or see the ot her party involved in my case?
Respondents and Claimants do not have to meet or talk directly. Advisors may ask questions for them during a hearing, as required by Title IX rules. Both sides can review and respond to statements and evidence, and the investigator handles all communication.
I’ve been contacted by the Title IX Coordinator, do I have to participate in the investigation?
Participation in an investigation is voluntary. Findings will be based on the information available at the time of review. While we encourage everyone to take part so the process is as thorough as possible, investigations may still move forward even if some individuals choose not to participate.
Can I bring someone with me when I meet with the Title IX Coordinator.
The parties may have a support person with them during meetings with Title IX Coordinator.
A support person may be a parent, legal guardian, friend, faculty member, student support specialist, attorney, or other person that the claimant or respondent would like to be present for emotional support. However, a support person may not serve as a witness. A support person must follow the rules of the process and may not formally participate in the process beyond supporting the party.
I'm concerned about retaliation if I file a report. What protections are in place to prevent this?
OTECH has a strict policy against intimidation and retaliation. This includes any action that might stop someone from making a report or taking part in an investigation. If you believe you have experienced intimidation or retaliation, contact the Title IX Coordinator right away. If you feel you are in danger, call campus safety at [(801) 430‑5139](tel:801-430‑5139) or dial 911.

###### Consent to Release Information
The consent to release information form allows students to designate another person to access or obtain their information and/or student records. The [Consent to Release Information Form](/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/Consent-to-Release-Form.pdf) is also available in the Student Records Office.
###### Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information
The request to prevent disclosure form allows students to block the college from sharing directory information (see definition above). The [Request to Prevent Disclosure](https://www.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/FERPA-Block-Form.pdf) form is also available in the Records Office.
###### Change of Personal Information
A student must submit a Change of Personal Information form to officially change their Name, Social Security Number, ITIN, Date of Birth, or Gender. Please visit the [Change of Personal Information](/current-students/student-records-rights/change-of-personal-information/ "Change of personal information page") page to access the form.
Students may update their preferred name, address, email and phone number through their Student Portal.
###### To whom can colleges disclose personally identifiable information?
FERPA rights belong to the student at a postsecondary institution, regardless of age. As defined by Ogden-Weber Technical College, student is considered “Anyone with a College transcript or College student directory information. Rights under FERPA begin at the time the individual meets the requirements to be considered a student.”
- The student has completed a [Consent to Release Information](https://www.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/Consent-to-Release-Form.pdf "Consent to Release Information") form and has identified which information may be released and to whom.
- The student is a dependent of his or her parents for tax purposes. In this case, the College may disclose information from an eligible student’s educational records to the parents. If the student is claimed as a dependent by either parent for tax purposes, then either parent may have access under FERPA. To receive information about a student’s records, the parent must provide an appropriate tax form with the child’s name listed as a dependent.
The College may release directory information without a [Consent to Release Information](https://www.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/Consent-to-Release-Form.pdf) form.
- Directory information at Ogden-Weber Technical College includes: name, address, phone number, email address, photograph, program in which enrolled, enrollment status e.g., full or part-time, certificates and dates received, expected completion date, honors, and dates of attendance.
Students have the right to place restrictions on their directory information. Students may place a restriction on their record at any time by submitting a [Request to Prevent Disclosure](https://www.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/FERPA-Block-Form.pdf) form to the registrar, Student Records office, or designee.
###### Student Portal
Students have access to look up their unofficial transcript and run a program completion evaluation in the [student portal](https://portal.otech.edu/Portal "Student portal"). They may also see their schedule detail, accept course scheduling, pay tuition, obtain end of year tax form (1098-T), update address, phone number, email and the name they would preferred to be called.
###### Use of Student Photos
OTECH may take photos or video in classrooms, labs, public areas, and at college events for use on the college website, social media, and promotional materials. While photographs are part of OTECH’s directory information, a photo becomes a FERPA‑protected education record when it is directly related to a student and maintained by the college (such as an ID photo).
Photo releases are not usually required for public‑space or crowd photos where no individual is the main focus.
A release may be required when a student is the primary, identifiable subject in a posed photo, is a minor, or when the image is taken in a non‑public setting for promotional use.
Students who prefer not to appear in photos should avoid staged photography and inform the photographer.
Students may restrict the release of their directory information, including photos, by submitting a [Request to Prevent Disclosure form. ](https://staging.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/FERPA-Block-Form.pdf)

##### Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit a project request?
OTECH Marketing uses FreshService for project requests – the same ticket system used by Facilities, I.T., and Data and Workflow. This makes it easy for you to get your project to Marketing!
To access FreshService and place a Marketing ticket for your project, click on the button called [“FreshService Tickets”](https://www.otech.edu/about-us/marketing/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CFreshService%20Tickets%E2%80%9D) on the Employee Resources page.
What happens after I submit a project request (Marketing ticket)?
You will get an email confirmation from a Marketing team member within 24 hours. The email confirmation often includes questions related to your project. Please answer them promptly to ensure your project can be started without delay!
The team member assigned to your project will communicate with you through FreshService, providing status updates and other details until your project is completed.
How do I know if I can create my own design or if I need to go through Marketing?
When deciding whether to create a design yourself or submit a Marketing request, consider the **scope, visibility, and intended use** of your project.
###### Marketing should be involved when the design is:
- Public-facing or student-facing
- Promoting a college program, service, or event
- Shared across multiple departments
- Part of an ongoing campaign or used repeatedly
- Representing the OTECH brand to the community
- Intended for social media, the website, digital signage, advertising, or printed marketing materials
These projects should be submitted through a Marketing request so our team can create or review the piece and ensure it aligns with the college’s brand, messaging, and accessibility standards.
###### You may create the design yourself when it is:
- Intended only for employees
- Used for internal meetings or trainings
- A one-time program activity with limited visibility
- A classroom announcement or internal recognition piece
These materials should still follow the Creating Guidelines and be approved by your director before they are shared.
###### Still unsure?
If you’re not sure whether a project should go through Marketing, we’re happy to help. Reach out to our team or submit a Marketing request, and we’ll help determine the best path forward.
I created my own design and am ready to share it. What do I do next?
###### **Before You Publish**
Before distributing any public-facing or student-facing design created outside of Marketing, submit a FreshService Marketing ticket for review and approval.
This final review helps ensure your design:
- Meets OTECH brand standards
- Is accessible
- Uses current branding and messaging
- Is ready for print or publication
After approval, Marketing can also assist with promoting your project through college communication channels, including social media, digital signage, and the event calendar.
Who do I contact if I have questions about branding, design, or advertising my program/event?
Send your questions to the Marketing and Communications Manager: brisa.odenthal@otech.edu.
How do I request a social media post?
You can submit a FreshService Marketing ticket to request a social media post be made for a student success story or to highlight your program.
You can also submit a [FreshService Ticket](https://www.otech.edu/about-us/marketing/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CFreshService%20Tickets%E2%80%9D) to ask for help with creating a social media post for your account.
Where can I get college photos or videos to use in my design, presentations, or social media posts?
These resources are located on the [Employee Portal](https://www.otech.edu/about-us/marketing/#:~:text=These%20resources%20are%20located%20on%20the%20Employee%20Portal.%20Log%20in%20with%20your%20OTECH%20credentials%20to%20browse%20and%20download%20media.). Log in with your OTECH credentials to browse and download media.
Where can I get OTECH’s brand fonts?
OTECH’s brand font is the Gotham font family. OTECH employees can get Gotham through Adobe Fonts.
To get the font:
1. Go to [Adobe Fonts](https://fonts.adobe.com/).
2. Sign in with your OTECH Adobe account.

# Understanding
Federal Aid
Federal aid is financial support from the U.S. government to help you pay for school. Your eligibility is based on the information you provide in the FAFSA.
#### What types of Aid can I receive?
Learn more about what’s available and how it can help cover the cost of your education.
###### Federal Pell Grant
Financial aid that doesn’t need to be paid back is called a grant. How much money a student can get depends on their financial need, which is figured out from the information on the FAFSA.
[Visit Site ](https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa)
###### FSEOG Grant
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for students who are eligible for Pell Grants. There is only a limited amount of this grant, so students are given money based on how much is available.
[Visit Site ](https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/fseog)
###### Federal Work Study
Students can also work part-time through the Federal Work-Study program, which helps them earn money. Whether you qualify for this depends on your FAFSA results. You can find job information on the OTECH job board and apply in the Financial Aid office.
[Visit Site ](https://jobs.otech.edu/)

If you are unsure which form to complete, please contact our [Financial Aid Office. ](https://otech.as.me/schedule/5d6f3499/?categories%5b%5d=Financial%20Aid)
##### Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Federal Financial Aid at the college a loan or a grant?
The Federal Financial Aid used at the college is a grant. A grant is money you do not need to pay back.
What are the requirements for receiving Federal Financial Aid?
Federal Title IV Financial Aid helps students with financial need, based on the information from the FAFSA. This financial aid is meant to help you complete an eligible certificate program. While receiving financial aid, students and their families are required to contribute to the cost of education. The amount of aid you can receive is based on your income, assets, number of dependents, and other details.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for financial aid, you must meet these requirements:
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- Have a high school diploma, GED, or a state-issued high school equivalency certificate.
- Maintain Satisfactory Academic Performance, as set by the college.
- Be enrolled in an eligible training program.
- Not in default on any federal loan or owe repayment for any grant from previous schools.
If you have questions, please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for assistance.
What is required to keep my Federal Financial Aid?
To keep your federal funding, you must keep Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) of 67%.
Students must finish at least 67% of the credits they take.
How do I calculate my academic performance?
Equation: (number of credits completed ÷ number of credits attempted = academic performance)
4 credits completed ÷ 6 credits taken = 67%
7 credits completed ÷ 12 credits taken = 58%
How much schoolwork should I get done each week?
At OTECH, 100% on-time completion means:
Part-time students – Must complete 1 credit every 2 weeks.
Full-time students – Must complete 1 credit every week.
Do I have to get my program done within a certain time?
You must finish your program within 150% (or time and a half) of the program length. If you fall behind, you may lose federal aid.
How and when will I get my Award letter?
If you qualify for federal aid, the OTECH Financial Aid team will send you an award letter in an email. This letter shows how much money you can receive, what it can cover, and how it will be awarded to you. It also tells you about other scholarships or financial aid that may be available.
To get your financial aid before classes start, be sure to send all needed information to the Financial Aid office. Sending information late could delay your funding.
To activate your award, you must meet these four requirements:
- Be eligible for federal (Title IV) funds.
- Complete all tasks in your StudentForms portal.
- Be enrolled and have a class schedule.
- Not use federal aid at another college at the same time.
Please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for answers to additional questions.
What happens if I need to repay some funds or if I should have gotten more?
Federal Financial Aid payments are made to the student before training begins.
If a student withdraws before completing their “period of enrollment,” Financial Aid will calculate how much of the financial aid was earned based on how long the student attended and how much of the program they completed.
- If the student has not earned the full amount that was paid to them, the school will require the student to pay back the unearned amount.
- If the school owes the student for the credit completed, the school will process a post-withdrawal payment. After all outstanding charges are paid, the student may receive a refund.
For more details, refer to the full Return to Title IV Policy.
If you have further questions, please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team.
How many programs can I take at the college using my Pell Grant?
Students will be allowed up to two programs per school year while receiving Title IV funds. OTECH Financial Aid staff will review each Program Change request and evaluate whether a student is meeting satisfactory academic performance and any other eligibility requirements to approve the change.
Please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for answers to additional questions.
When and how do I get my financial aid money?
Federal Grant Payments
The tech college follows federal rules for paying federal grants in two installments, called payment periods. These periods depend on your program length, academic year, and the remaining program time if you are receiving aid in more than one year.
How Funds Are Disbursed (Paid)
- First Installment: At the start of your program, funds are applied to your tuition and bookstore charges.
- Second Installment: Midway through the payment period, any remaining funds after tuition and bookstore charges are paid, will be issued to you via check or EFT.
If you withdraw before completing the required credits for the payment period, you may need to repay part of the funds.
Evaluation: Your satisfactory academic performance (SAP) is reviewed monthly. Disbursements are made when you reach the required credit hours, either halfway through or at the end of the payment period. Any remaining funds will be released to you based on the evaluation schedule.
Using Residual Funds: Residual funds should be used for education-related expenses, such as tuition, books, tools, housing, transportation, and childcare. Please use your refunded aid wisely.
If you have any questions, contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team.
How do I get back my eligibility if I’ve lost funding?
To get back financial aid after losing it, you must bring your SAP up to 67%.
This means you’ll need to pay out of your own pocket for courses until your SAP is at least 67%.
You can submit an appeal if there are extenuating circumstances, and the SAP committee will review each appeal on a case-by-case basis.
Please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for answers to additional questions.

Looking Ahead
## Preparing Utah’s Workforce
**Utah’s workforce is changing quickly**. Technology is advancing, and the available workforce is shrinking. To stay competitive, both employers and educators must adapt and work together.
**High‑Tech Demand is Growing. Nearly 65% of Utah jobs now require high‑tech skills**, and many traditional training paths no longer meet these evolving needs.
**OTECH is committed** **to building a strong, future‑ready workforce.** We work closely with industry partners to:
- Align training with real employer needs
- Provide hands‑on, career‑focused training
- Support ongoing skill development for current and future workers
- Help businesses remain competitive in a fast‑changing economy
Through these partnerships, **OTECH ensures students gain the skills employers need**. Our mission is to build prosperous communities, today and in the years ahead.
## OUR HISTORY
1971
The tech college opened in April 1971 under the name of Skills Center North. This institution was established essentially to assist adult students in learning new job skills and obtain jobs. Back then, the student body consisted of 93 students.
1975
By 1975, the Utah Board of Regents incorporated Skills Center North as part of Weber State College. Near the end of the 1970’s, expanding training programs received full state and regional accreditation. These important actions served as the foundation for authorizing local high school students to enroll in vocational courses while they completed their high school graduation requirements. The student body soon exceeded 750 full and part-time adult learners and high school students.
1982
In 1982, the institution was moved under the auspices of the Utah State Office of Education, and became Ogden-Weber Area Vocational Center. The student body quickly grew to over 1,200 students who were attending both full-time and part-time.
1984
Legislators authorized the move to the present campus in 1984 to accommodate a growing need for more classrooms, lab areas, and a steadily increasing student body. In the early 1990’s, the name was changed to Ogden-Weber Applied Technology Center.
2001
In 2001, the college celebrated their 30-year anniversary. At that point, the workforce reached more than 150 employees, offerings grew to over 300 technical courses, 53 employment categories in 14 major buildings, and at 9 locations. Also in 2001, the Utah State Legislature approved the tech college to be a Utah College of Applied Technology campus, which resulted in this institution being designated as a stand-alone campus serving the Ogden-Weber region.
Today
The college currently serves over 6,000 adult and high school students who attend full-time and part-time each year. The high rate of graduate job placement is a continuing force in the growth and economy of Northern Utah.

###### Preparation
###### Research the company
While you are searching for a job and before your interview, make sure to research the company online. Employers like to know that you care enough about their organization to research it ahead of time. Go into your interview knowledgeable about the company’s products/services offered, mission statement or philosophy, history and growth, and what makes them stand out from their competition.
###### Practice
Just as a good resume will get you an interview, a great interview is what can get you the job. The purpose of an interview is to allow the employer to get to know you. Each question they ask is designed to give them insight into your skills, abilities, and attitude. It’s a way for them to determine if you will be a good fit within their company. The key to giving a good interview is to practice, practice, practice! Practicing out loud helps you articulate your responses in a professional manner. You can use common interview questions, with family and friends or schedule a mock interview with an [OTECH Career Services Specialist](/current-students/student-success-center/job-coach/).
###### Dress the part
First impressions are important. Aim for something that looks professional, feels comfortable and that you feel confident in. Make sure you are well groomed, and each garment is clean, wrinkle free and appropriately fitting. A collar shirt, a nice blouse and/or dress pants are all great options. Clean business-style shoes and simple accessories are a classic look. If you’re still not sure what to wear, take your attire a level up from what you would normally wear to the job. Avoid perfume/cologne. Keep your breath fresh with a mouth spray or mint.
###### Be Prepared
Know who you are meeting with and the job title that you applied for. Plan on a committee interview and bring multiple copies of your resume for each person to review. Stop by the Student Success Center to print your resume on high quality paper for free. During the job interview, you will have an opportunity to ask questions. It’s important to develop questions that focus on the company, their needs, challenges, and expectations. To your interview, bring a reliable pen and notebook that includes the questions you would like to ask.
###### Most Common Interview Questions
[###### Tell me about yourself.
Tell me about yourself.To focus your answer, follow the 3 P’s.- **Preparation**– What have you been doing to prepare for this job? Talk about your education, skills, trainings, and future goals in that filed.
- **Passion**– Why did you choose this field? What got you interested?
- **Purpose**– What you are looking to achieve in the position? Example, “I’m looking for more experience and education”.
Tell me about a strength you can bring to the organization.List a strength that would be beneficial to the position/company and use an exampleTell me about a weakness.List a weakness and how you are working on improving that weakness. Employers want to know that you are capable of getting the job done regardless of the challenges.Tell me about a bad boss you have had.Or
Tell me about a time you had conflict with a co-worker/customer.When giving examples to these questions keep these 3 things in mind:- **Stick to the facts and name the behavior.** Was a customer yelling at you because they felt you were taking too long? Was a boss micromanaging your very move? Was a co-worker acting unprofessional by spreading rumors?
- **Explain how you handled the situation.** Communication is key in any relationship.
- **Share the result.** Did you work it out? Where you both able to complete your work?
Tell me about a time you had to complete a task under a tight deadline.What do you do when a team member refuses to complete their portion of work?Tell me about a time you worked under stressful conditions.Your answers to behavioral questions can indicate how you operate as a team, your ethical decision making, critical thinking and how you handle situations. Use the **STAR** acronym:
- Explain the **S**ituation
- Describe the problem/**T**ask/challenges
- Outline the **A**ction you took to resolve the problem
- Talk about the **R**esults and how your actions helped the overall problem
What are your salary expectations? - Only talk about pay during the first interview if the employer brings it up, otherwise wait until you know they are interested in you by offering you the job or asking you to return for a second interview.
- Don’t give a fixed number, they may assume you are not willing to budge. Have a range or tell them you are willing to negotiate once you have seen the full package (the offered salary and benefits).
- Research other similar job positions in the same area before the interview.
- Turn the question around, “What do you normally pay someone with my experience and training?”
- You can request the insurance information, policies and procedures and the employee handbook via email to review before deciding on accepting an offer.
](#)
###### The Interview
[###### Allow extra time
Show the employer that you have good time management skills and value their time by being 5 minutes early. Account for possible traffic, weather, parking and give yourself time to turn off your phone and check in at the front desk. Interviews normally can take between 20 minutes to 1 hour.
](#) [###### Body language
Using confident and correct body language is essential in an interview. Sometimes it is non-verbal communication that stands out to the employer even more than what you say or what is on your resume – everything from eye contact to your handshake! Stand and sit up straight and tall, listen attentively, make eye contact when being spoken to, be engaged, and speak loud and clear with confidence. Do your best to bring positive energy into the room, be grateful for this opportunity and share your excitement for the field.
](#) [###### Answering Questions
Review the job posting for job field related questions. Give examples that prove what you say. For example, “I’m a hard worker”. What makes you a hard worker? Do you make sure to get the job done no matter what? Do you come in early, work overtime or take advanced training in your field?
Talk about relevant skills or processes you have learned on the job, in your personal life, or at school that would benefit the company. Have specific examples of projects you have worked on, how you’ve handled difficult people or situations, and why you feel you would be a good fit for the position and the company.
](#)
###### Questions for the employer
[Employers prefer candidates to ask questions, it shows that you are serious about the position and that you want to make sure you would be a good fit. Here are a few questions to ask:
](#) [###### Can you tell me about the team I will be working with?
The work environment is one of the most important aspects at a job.
](#) [###### What are the biggest challenges that someone in this position may face?
This can give you an idea of difficulties you may face.
](#) [###### What would a successful first year look like?
This question shows the employer you want to be successful, and you are thinking long term.
](#) [###### What would be my schedule for this position?
Is there mandatory overtime or am I expected to be on-call?
Make sure the schedule is going to work with your personal life.
This also opens an opportunity to present how available or flexible you are.
](#) [###### What do you like about working here?
This can give you an idea of what you can look forward to.
](#) [###### When can I expect to hear back from you?
You want to give the employer time to complete the interviews but it’s also nice to know when you can follow up if you don’t hear back.
](#)
###### Send the thank you!
[You’ve worked hard preparing your resume, reference page, and cover letter. You had your interview…that was the hard part! So what’s next? Follow up! Send a thank you email to the interviewer within 24 hours after your interview. Sending a thank you shows that you are willing to take an extra step, and it also allows you to add anything you may have forgotten to mention or fix a mistake you may have made during the interview.
](#) [###### Example
Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name:

### [Withdrawal](https://www.otech.edu/current-students/withdrawal/)
**Published:** September 3, 2026
**Author:** debra.ard
**Excerpt:** Process and information about officially withdrawing from OTECH.
**Content:**
## Withdrawal
## Thinking about withdrawing?
The college encourages all students to complete their current course, if possible, before withdrawing and ending their schedule. Please speak to your student support specialist prior to completing this form if you have any questions.
## Initiating a Withdrawal:
You must initiate a withdrawal from the college when you either:
- Complete all of your courses and decide to leave the college,
*OR*
- Decide, for any reason, that you no longer wish to attend.
## What you should know about withdrawing and ending your course schedule:
- If you plan on returning to the same course(s) you will be responsible to repay for that course in full upon rescheduling.
- Consider taking a [leave of absence (LOA)](https://www.otech.edu/current-students/leave-of-absence/). A LOA allows you to take time off without having to pay for the course in full upon rescheduling.
- Talk to your [student support specialist](https://www.otech.edu/current-students/student-support-specialists/) prior to withdrawing, if you have extenuating circumstances.
High school students should notify their CTE counselor before withdrawing.
Students receiving federal student aid (PELL or SEOG) should contact the [Financial Aid](/future-students/financial-aid/) office before withdrawing.
If this withdraw is related to pregnancy, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at <titleix@otech.edu> to understand your rights to pregnancy-related protections and accommodations prior to submitting this form.
## How to Withdraw
Submit the online form to officially withdraw from OTECH and end all uncompleted course(s) you’re currently enrolled in.

##### Frequently Asked Questions
What is Academic Performance?
It’s how well a student is doing in their classes and moving forward in their program.
What is Satisfactory Academic Performance (SAP)?
The minimum academic performance students must meet to get and keep financial aid. Check the specific requirements for SAP under each type of funding.
How do I calculate my Academic Performance?
Equation: (number of credits completed ÷ number of credits attempted = academic performance)
4 credits completed ÷ 6 credits taken = 67%
7 credits completed ÷ 12 credits taken = 58%
How much schoolwork should I get done each week?
At OTECH, 100% on-time completion means:
Part-time students – Must complete 1 credit every 2 weeks.
Full-time students – Must complete 1 credit every week.
What financial aid is available to help me pay for school?
At OTECH, we have many school scholarships. We also accept federal financial aid, military veterans’ funding, and outside scholarships. We can help you with any of these types of financial aid.
What happens if I leave school for religious service, military service, or other extended leave?
The college may re-award scholarships to students returning from religious, military, or extended leave, depending on the scholarship. Please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for help with your situation.
What happens if my financial aid money runs out, but I’m not done with my program?
The Financial Aid and Scholarship team can help you to find other possible ways to help pay for school.
What are the terms and definitions used for financial aid?
Award Letter – A document that shows how much financial aid you will get.

Scholarships – Free money to help pay for school that you don’t have to pay back. At OTECH, scholarships are widely available.

###### Katie Craven
Business
Katie is a graduate of our Business program. Prior to enrolling at OTECH, Katie wouldn’t have described herself as an academic. That quickly changed as she found a safe space to learn and grow at OTECH. Katie’s academic excellence led to her membership in National Technical Honor Society, an accolade achieved only by the top 5% of OTECH students per semester. Now that Katie has completed her program, she is researching and preparing to open a small business in the future – a business that she hopes captures the same nurturing and community-centered essence that she experienced here at OTECH.

# Samuel H. and Marian K. Barker Family Health Technology Building
Dedicated June 16, 2011
The Samuel H. and Marian K. Barker Family Health Technology Building marks a major milestone for OTECH. It reflects the vision of the college leaders and the community to address the ongoing shortage of healthcare professionals. With healthcare jobs projected to grow by 45% through 2020 and many workers retiring, the new facility strengthens the region’s training capacity.
The project highlights the power of partnerships, as college leadership, Weber County legislators, and the OTECH Foundation collaborated to secure nearly $22 million in state funding for construction. In 2006, the Foundation pledged $1 million for technical training equipment, its most ambitious project to date, and achieved that goal by 2009 through donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals.
Named in honor of Samuel H. and Marian K. Barker through a gift from the Samuel C. and Myra G. Powell Foundation, the building was made possible by 115 donors who contributed over $1.4 million for cutting-edge medical training equipment.
The Barker Family Health Technology Building houses all OTECH healthcare programs, including Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, Nursing, and Pharmacy Technician, and hosts a Weber State University Registered Nursing cohort. The facility enables the college to accommodate up to 1,200 healthcare students annually, effectively doubling its training capacity.
By the beginning of the 2009 legislative session, the foundation had met its goal through contributions entirely from foundations, corporations, and individuals including numerous college employees. Through the efforts of the Weber County delegation and local legislative leadership, in March 2009, the college received nearly $22 million in funding from the state for construction. The contract for design/build was awarded to the team of Okland Construction/GSBS Architects for their stunningly beautiful and environmentally-friendly design. Students, faculty, staff, college leadership, legislators, and donors celebrated the groundbreaking on December 2, 2009.
The foundation was honored to grant naming rights for the building to the Samuel C. and Myra G. Powell Foundation for its founder and long-time tech college supporter, Samuel H. Barker and his wife, Marian. The three Barker family siblings, Charles, Mary, and Ann, continue to operate the Powell Foundation in the spirit intended by their father and by Mr. and Mrs. Powell with a special emphasis on health care. With the help of the Powell Foundation and an additional 114 donors, the OTECH Foundation has now raised over $1.4 million to purchase state-of-the-art medical training equipment for the new facility.
The Samuel H. and Marian K. Barker Family Health Technology Building houses all college health care programs including Dental Assisting, Dental Office Administration, Medical Assisting, Medical Office Administration, Medical Transcription, Medical Coder, Practical Nursing, Nursing Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and a cohort of Weber State University’s Registered Nursing program to serve Ogden-Weber graduates. Overall, the new building will allow the college to double its capacity by serving up to 1,200 health care students annually.

# Your Scholarship Search Starts Here
We offer a variety of scholarships to help make school more affordable—so you can focus on learning.
##### How to apply for an OTECH scholarship
Applying for scholarships can be easy and rewarding. Follow these two steps to increase your chances of receiving financial aid.
## 01
###### Complete the FAFSA
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential for receiving a scholarship. It is required for most state-funded scholarships and helps demonstrate your financial need. Completing the FAFSA can also open the door to other scholarship opportunities.
**Should I fill it out even if I don’t think I’ll qualify for federal financial aid?**
Yes! Not every scholarship is need-based, but many require that students explore federal funding possibilities first. It also helps us determine other financial aid options for you.
[ FAFSA ](https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa)
## 02
###### Fill Out the OTECH General Scholarship Application
This application puts you in line to be considered for multiple OTECH scholarships. Fill out one application and we’ll find the best scholarship fit for you.
While the application is designed to be quick and easy, take the time to answer questions thoughtfully. This is your chance to share any challenges you’re facing and help us understand your needs.

##### Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about scholarships
What is required to keep my scholarship funding?
To keep your scholarship funding, you must keep Satisfactory Academic Performance (SAP).
Adult Scholarship 80% SAP
Students need to complete 80% of credits taken.
All Other Scholarships 67% SAP
Students need to complete 67% of credits taken.
How do I calculate my academic performance?
Equation: (number of credits completed ÷ number of credits attempted = academic performance)
4 credits completed ÷ 6 credits taken = 67%
7 credits completed ÷ 12 credits taken = 58%
How much schoolwork should I get done each week?
At OTECH, 100% on-time completion means:
Part-time students – Must complete 1 credit every 2 weeks.
Full-time students – Must complete 1 credit every week.
What happens if my scholarship money runs out, but I’m not done with my program?
The Financial Aid and Scholarship team can help you to find other possible ways to help pay for school.
What is the Summer Scholarship and who can receive it?
A scholarship given to all graduating high school seniors that covers tuition for all courses started after high school graduation through the end of August.
[Summer Scholarship Information](/summer-scholarships/)
Why do I have to write a thank you letter?
Our donors love hearing how their support changes students’ lives. Sharing your stories shows them the difference they make for individuals and families and inspires them to keep funding scholarships for our students.
What if I have a scholarship from an outside organization?
We can help with that. Just contact a member of our Financial Aid and Scholarship team and they will walk you through the process.
When and how will I get my award letter?
If you apply for and receive a scholarship, the OTECH Financial Aid team will send you an award letter in an email. This letter shows how much money you can receive and how it will be given to you.
Please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship team for answers to additional questions.
When will I receive my scholarship funding?
Before classes begin, we’ll let you know what your scholarship can cover and share information about other financial aid that you may be eligible for. To get your scholarship before classes start, be sure to send all needed information to the Financial Aid office.
What are the terms and definitions for scholarships?

## Information for Respondents
A “Respondent” is a person named in a report made to the Title IX Office. This usually means the person is accused of behavior that may violate OTECH policies.
If the Title IX Office contacts you, it does *not* mean you are being disciplined. The office is reaching out to follow up on a report and to learn more about the situation.
If you have been accused of sex discrimination, sexual violence, dating or domestic violence, stalking, gender‑based harassment, or retaliation, you can find information about available support under Supportive Measures.
**Support Resources for Respondents**

- **Title IX Policies:**
- [Policy 530.4 – Student Rights and Code of Conduct](https://www.otech.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/530.4_Student-Rights-and-Code-of-Conduct.pdf)

## Mandatory Reporting
Faculty and Staff Resources
##### As an OTECH employee, what do I need to know?
###### What does it mean to be a “Mandatory Reporter”?
All OTECH employees are considered “mandatory reporters” and must report complaints related to sexual assault, misconduct, discrimination, and/or harassment to the Title IX Coordinator.
You have 24 hours from learning of the incident to report it to the Title IX Coordinator. You may make your report in person, by calling 801-627-8416, or emailing the Title IX Coordinator at <titleix@otech.edu>.
###### What to Do if Someone Shares a Reportable Incident
**1. Pause the conversation**
- - Gently stop the person.
- Let them know you are a mandatory reporter.
- Explain that anything they share must be reported to the Title IX Coordinator.
**2. Report What You Heard**
- Even if they stop talking, you must report what was already shared.
- You do not need full details—Title IX will follow up directly to avoid them repeating their story.
**3. Connect them to the Title IX Office**
- Offer to walk them to the office, if appropriate.
- The Title IX Coordinator can check for immediate safety or counseling needs.
**Special Instructions for Incidents Involving Minors**
- If you suspect sexual harassment or abuse involving a minor, **you must report it immediately to the local police**, as required by *Utah Code § 62A‑4a‑403*
- After contacting police, notify the **Title IX Coordinator** and **your supervisor** that the report has been made.
**If the Disclosure Happens by Email**
- Reply to the student and explain you are a mandatory reporter.
- CC the Title IX Office on the email. Include:
- Names of involved individuals
- Student ID numbers (if available)
Once you’ve sent this email, your reporting requirement is complete, and the student can continue the conversation with the Title IX Office.
###### How to Respond to a Student’s Email and Notify the Title IX Coordinator
**1. Reply to the student**
- Acknowledge their message.
- Tell them you are a mandatory reporter.
- Keep it brief and supportive.
**2. CC the Title IX Coordinator**
- Add titleix@otech.edu to the CC line.
- Include:
- When you received the report
- What the student shared (in brief)
- Your response to them
Once CC’d, your reporting duty is fulfilled.
**Sample Response Template**
*Thank you for confiding in me. I want you to know that I am a mandatory reporter, which means I must share any concerns about sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, relationship or domestic violence, stalking, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation with the Title IX Coordinator.*
*Although I am here to support you, the Title IX Office will handle next steps and provide support services.*
*The Title IX Coordinator will contact you soon to offer resources and assistance. I encourage you to connect with them—they can help you access the support you may need.*
###### How to Report an Incident as a Mandatory Reporter
**1. Provide basic information**
- Share the names of the people involved
- Include student ID numbers if you have them.
**2. Email the report to the Title IX Coordinator**
You may:
- Forward the student’s original email
- Add brief notes from your conversation
- Attach any relevant documents or screenshots
**3. Tell the student you must report**
- Let them know you are a mandatory reporter.
- Explain that the Title IX Coordinator will follow up with them directly.
**4. The Title IX Coordinator will confirm your report**
- They will reply to acknowledge your email.
- They may ask for more information—if not, your reporting duty is complete.
**5. Title IX will contact the student**
- The Coordinator will reach out to offer support and resources
###### When Can Staff or Faculty Report a Concern Anonymously?
Staff and faculty may report Title IX or Title VII concerns anonymously when reporting about their own experience.
However, you cannot remain anonymous if you are making a report as a mandatory reporter.
Please note that anonymous reports may limit OTech’s ability to fully investigate the situation or provide needed support.

- Specifically describes how the diagnosis applies to the individual student.
##### Functional Limitations

### [Weather-Related Delays and Closures](https://www.otech.edu/weather-related-delays-and-closures/)
**Published:** January 24, 2024

**Excerpt:** On occasion, adverse weather conditions may lead to a delayed start time or campus closure. Ogden-Weber Technical College administration considers several factors when making these decisions.

## Weather-Related Delays and Closures
On occasion, adverse weather conditions may lead to a delayed start time or campus closure. Ogden-Weber Technical College administration considers several factors when making these decisions, including:
- Weather reports from the National Weather Service
- Rate of snowfall
- Road conditions in the greater area
- Road and parking lot conditions on campus
The college works closely with other educational partners in the area and monitors other closures when applicable but makes an independent decision based on campus conditions.
College administration will typically make decisions to delay or cancel daytime classes prior to 6 a.m. and announce these decisions via Informacast (mass text message system) and college social media channels. Our communications team works diligently to get Informacast and social media notifications out before 6:30 a.m. Decisions to cancel evening classes will typically be made and communicated by 2:30 p.m. If no information is shared on college social media, classes and college business will proceed as normal.
Occasionally, the decision to close campus must be made without advanced notice. In these cases, information will also be communicated via Informacast and posted on college social media pages.
##### Faculty and Staff
In the event of a delay or cancellation, faculty will communicate with students regarding revised class expectations and/or assignments. Online classes will generally continue as normal.
Some employees may be expected to report to campus even in the event of a closure. Please check with your supervisor for expectations in weather-related delays and closures.
##### Individual Level Decisions
Students and employees are responsible for assessing their individual circumstances when traveling to campus and should take appropriate safety precautions. If the campus is open and a student or employee is unable to attend class or work, they should communicate with their instructor/student support specialist or supervisor to make alternate arrangements.
Per the [Telecommuting policy](/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/520.34_Telecommuting.pdf), employees must be authorized by their supervisor and vice president to work remotely. Employees who are not eligible to telecommute must use accrued leave or leave without pay in the event they are unable to work their approved schedule when the campus is open.

## Support Measures
###### What are supportive Measures?
If you have experienced sexual misconduct or discrimination, or are part of a related process, you can ask the Title IX Coordinator for supportive measures. These supports are meant to help keep you safe and help you stay in school.
###### How do I access supportive measures?
- Calling (801) 627-8300
- Emailing [**titleix@otech.edu**](mailto:titleix@otech.edu)
###### What are some examples of supportive measures?
- Mutual restrictions on contact between parties (No Contact Directive)
- Extensions of deadlines or other academic adjustments
- Adjustments to deadlines or class schedules
- Campus escorts
- Enhanced security in specific campus areas
- Other measures based on the circumstances of each case
###### What are limits of supportive measures?
Supportive measures are not punishments or discipline.
They are not intended to harm or blame individuals who have experienced sexual misconduct or discrimination, or anyone accused of this behavior. Supportive measures are designed to ensure safety, access, and fairness during the process.
###### Can supportive measures be retroactive?
Supportive measures can be given even if the incident happened in the past. For example, if you missed class because of an incident of sexual misconduct, we may be able to work with your instructor to excuse the absences and help you stay on track.
###### Do I need to file a formal complaint or participate in an investigation to receive supportive measures?
Supportive measures are available even if you don’t file a formal complaint or pursuing an investigation.
###### What is reporting a concern versus a formal complaint?
Reporting a concern means sharing information about possible sexual misconduct or discrimination.
A formal complaint is a written document filed by the Complainant—or signed by the Title IX Coordinator—stating that a Respondent is accused of sexual harassment and asking OTECH to begin an investigation.

## Transcript Request
### Course Completion Credit/Grades
In competency-based education, course completion is accomplished when students have successfully demonstrated mastery in all necessary skills and competencies. For most courses prior to July 1, 2023, the instructor issued a course mastery (M) grade when all competencies had been completed or demonstrated. As of July 1, 2023, the college issues letter grades according to a either a letter grade scale or a competent/not competent scale.
### Course Test Out
or Challenge
Students may also prove competency in a course through a test out or challenge process for eligible courses. Students enrolled in a monthly tuition course must request a course challenge within five school days of the course start date. Tuition is paid for the hours the student is enrolled in the course. Students in an up-front tuition course must pay for the course and test out within the first five school days from the course start date. If the student successfully tests out of the course they will be taken out of the course, credited the course tuition, and charged the test out fee. Students do not receive a letter grade for test out or challenge exams.
### Transfer
Credit
Students may receive transfer course competency mastery credit (M) when official documentation that verifies that the same competencies have been completed is presented. Documentation may include official transcripts or industry certification credentials/documentation. Students are not issued a letter grade for transfer credit. Students must submit an official transcript from an accredited institution in its original sealed envelope or have one mailed to the college Registrar’s Office. College transcripts can also be received electronically through an approved transcript exchange provider (i.e. National Student Clearing House). High school transcripts will be considered official if received through fax if it is clear the document is received directly from the institution. (OTECH Policy 530.10 Transfer Credit) In order to receive possible transfer credit, courses for transfer on college transcripts must have a grade of ‘C’ or better, and courses for transfer on high school transcripts must have a grade average of ‘B’ or better.

##### Community Leadership
The success and recognition the college has earned in the Ogden-Weber community is linked directly to the leadership, business involvement, and support from a broad base of community, education, civic, and business leaders.

- [The College Foundation Board of Trustees](/about-us/foundation-board-of-trustees/)

## See Fraud, Stop Fraud
[ Report Fraud ](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/17760/index.html&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1766442325297554&usg=AOvVaw0ePKIHaYP9tbU6uNOOaaQ5)
**Understanding Fraud**
Fraud happens when someone intentionally lies or hides important information to cause a person or organization to lose money or property. In simple terms: if someone deceives another to take money or assets, it’s fraud.
There are two main types of fraud: personal fraud and organizational fraud. This page focuses on organizational fraud, which includes both internal and external fraud.
**Internal Organizational Fraud**
This is sometimes called occupational fraud. Internal fraud occurs when someone inside the organization commits the wrongdoing.
Examples include:
- Forgery
- Falsifying accounting records
- Misreporting leave or hours worked
- Unauthorized changes to financial documents
- Misuse of funds or other College assets
- Improper financial transaction reporting
- Destroying, removing, or using College property for personal gain
**External Organizational Fraud**
External fraud comes from outside the organization. This includes cybersecurity threats and other financial schemes.
Examples include:
- Forgery
- Shoplifting
- False vendor billing
- Fake check or credit card payments
**How the College Helps Prevent Fraud**
The College uses several safeguards to prevent and detect fraud.
Examples include:
- Financial statement audits
- Internal audits and reviews
- Internal controls and separation of duties
- Policies and procedures
- Cash‑handling training
##### Help Prevent Fraud
While these methods help to prevent fraud, they will never be 100% effective at eliminating fraud occurrences. We also need methods of detection.
According to the Occupational Fraud 2022: A Report to the Nations by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, 42% of frauds were detected through tips, with more than half of all tips coming from employees. This means that as college staff, you are our most effective method of fraud detection.
The fraud triangle is a model that shows the conditions that increase the likelihood of fraud being committed.
#### You can anonymously report fraud through our reporting hotline.
