Any high school or adult student, who declares a technical training objective, is eligible to enroll in a
course or courses. Students who wish to enroll in a technical training program must meet program
specific enrollment requirements.
2. Transfer Students - Within the Institution Due to the competency-based nature of the Utah
College of Applied Technology (UCAT), student transfers within the Institution are subject to the
instructor’s approval. SWATC coursework completed will be evaluated to determine if it meets any
of the competency requirements of the new program in which the student plans to enroll.

with the transfer.
3. Transfer Students - From Other Institutions Due to the competency-based nature of the Utah
College of Applied Technology (UCAT), student transfers within the UCAT system will occur seamlessly
as long as the student meets the admission requirements of the new program or SWATC. Students who
transfer and request course credit must provide official transcripts and any other required reports, records
or evaluation of the credit to the new program’s instructor. For students transferring from outside the
UCAT system, credit transfer is subject to the instructor’s approval.
