Welcome

The Office of Compliance is committed to helping the Utah Tech community adhere to University, state, and federal guidelines by closely monitoring policy changes that affect our campus community. The Office of Compliance has assembled a cross-campus working group to gather campus feedback and collaborate with our state and federal partners to provide guidance as comprehensively as possible, keeping in mind the diverse needs of our campus and the laws and mandates that govern a state entity. The working group and the Office of Compliance are committed to transparency and will keep you informed as we navigate complex issues together.

Temporary Pause on Federal Grants and Loans

Utah Tech continues to monitor the executive order that has temporarily stopped the disbursement of federal loans and grants. For UT, the order primarily relates to DEI initiatives. As part of our compliance with Utah HB261, we have a process in place to quickly identify which grants may be affected. Direct federal assistance to individuals, such as Pell grants and student loans, are not impacted. Due to previous experience with pauses in federal loan and grant disbursement during changes in administration and federal shutdowns, we are confident we can navigate these changes.
