Compendium of Budget Information for the 2012 General Session

Higher Education
Appropriations Subcommittee

Agency: Utah College of Applied Technology

Function

With the creation of UCAT, the Dixie ATC (DXATC) was split off from the Southwest Applied Technology Service Region to form the Dixie Campus. DXATC leases space from the private sector in St. George. Secondary students represented 18 percent of its 271,825 membership hours in FY 2011.

The Dixie ATC partners closely with both DSC and Washington County School District to minimize the expenditure of assets. For example, all welding classes for high school students and ATC adults are taught at the high schools. DSC continues to provide intake services for students with disabilities. DSC and DXATC work closely together to ensure that no duplication of programs exists. Also, DSC and DXATC have an articulation agreement for students in Manufacturing U and, with the recent passage of the R473 Standards, both colleges are partnering together in order to implement articulation agreements across multiple programs.

Another partnership between the Southwest Applied Technology College and Dixie involves shared facilities, faculty and equipment for various applied technology programs such as professional truck driving. This allows each campus to efficiently provide programs at both locations without duplicating resources. Dixie ATC provides programs in business, information technology, health sciences and building trades. Dixie has also implemented new allied health programs in partnership with the new Intermountain Healthcare hospital in St. George and building trades programs in cooperation with the Southern Utah Home Builders Association.

Intent Language

The Legislature intends that institutions in the Utah System of Higher Education and the Utah College of Applied Technology review the return on the taxpayer's investment when budget reductions are made and if additional funds are appropriated. This review propose ways to maximize the return by providing students with the skills necessary to enter the workforce. The Legislature further intends that the results of this review be reported to the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee not later than January 2012.
