Clock to Credit Transition 2024-2025

Move from Clock Hour to Credit Hour

Effective July 1, 2023, Ogden-Weber Technical College transitioned from clock-hour to credit-hour programs to adhere to Utah System of Higher Education policies and streamline articulation with other universities and colleges around the state.

As part of this transition, all programs converted to a pay up-front, per course model. Overall costs for students did not substantively change.

All new students since July 1, 2023, have been enrolled in credit-hour outlines. Students who began prior to July 1, 2023, have the option to remain on their clock-hour outline until June 30, 2025.

All Clock-Hour Students Moving to Credit by June 30, 2025

Beginning June 30, 2025, all Ogden-Weber Technical College students will be converted to a credit-hour outline. This change could impact course requirements and funding. So what does this mean for clock-hour students?

• If you complete your program prior to June 30, 2025 (recommended), there will be no change to your program outline.
• If you have not completed your program by then, you will be moved to a credit-hour outline, which may affect your course requirements and change your cost per course.
• If you receive financial aid, the change to your program outline could impact your funding and may require a return of funds. Please reach out to the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about your financial aid.

If you have questions or concerns about your individual situation, please reach out to your student support specialist.

Weekly Scheduling

Beginning July 1, 2024, most OTECH students will move to a weekly course scheduling model at Ogden-Weber Technical College. This will simplify processes for students and instructors and make it easier to meet student needs.

Who is moving to weekly scheduling?

All students on an FY24 or later program outline will move to a weekly scheduling model, with some modifications for students in programs with required attendance or operating in cohorts (Barbering, Cosmetology, Nail Technician, Nursing Assistant, Real Estate, Apprenticeships, and Practical Nursing).

How does weekly scheduling work?

In this model, all courses will begin on Mondays and end on Fridays. When you work with your instructor and/or admissions to register for your next course, you will choose whether you want to be a full-time (FT) or a part-time (PT) student.

• Full-time students will be expected to complete one credit per week.
• Part-time students will complete one credit every two weeks.
• If you need a temporary waiver to change these minimum requirements, meet with your student support specialist to discuss.

Course length and end date will be determined by whether you are a full-time or part-time student.
