UTTC adds to campus
United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) has been operating under a synchronous virtual learning environment for the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semester. Some programs, including welding, heavy equipment and athletics, have continued face-to-face and have implemented innovative safety protocols to allow for safe operations.
UTTC is nearing completion of the 32,000-square-foot education building, which is a $4 million project and will serve as a central location for several academic programs on campus and as a new library and archives. UTTC has also recently finished the Cozy Creek Café and Student Union, which will serve as a gathering place on campus when all students return (hopefully in the fall of 2021).

Bank of North Dakota helps plan, pay
Bank of North Dakota (BND) provides student loans and resources to help students achieve their career goals after high school.

This is a one-stop location to attend college fairs, access College Application Month instructions and participate in numerous webinars, along with viewing videos and the college handbook.
North Dakota Dollars for Scholars, a statewide scholarship program, and College SAVE, the state’s 529 plan which helps residents save for college, are administered by BND.
