Relocation Services: How To Secure Housing Near a UTI Campus

Starting a program at a trade school like Universal Technical Institute (UTI) can be an exciting step toward a hands-on career.¹ But for many students, the journey also includes moving to a new city. That’s where relocation services come in, helping you find housing and transition smoothly into life near your chosen campus.

In this guide, we’ll break down the types of relocation support UTI offers, how to qualify and the resources available to make your move as seamless as possible. 

What Types of Relocation Services Does UTI Offer?

Moving to pursue your education doesn’t have to be overwhelming. UTI provides several relocation resources designed to ease both the financial and housing aspects of your transition.

Relocation grants

UTI offers relocation grants to eligible students who need to move to attend trade school.¹⁰ These grants can help cover the costs of relocation, reducing the financial burden of securing housing in a new area. 

Financial aid 

Financial aid can also play a role in covering relocation costs. By completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), students can see if they qualify for loans, grants or scholarships that can be applied toward housing and living expenses.¹⁰ 

Housing services

For housing assistance, UTI partners with third-party providers such as:

• Collegiate Housing Services (CHS): Offers a variety of housing options, roommate matching and an apartment locator program designed specifically for students.
• Compass Rose Student Housing: Provides fully furnished housing near campuses, often with utilities and amenities included.

These services give students reliable housing choices tailored to the unique needs of trade school life.

How To Qualify for Relocation Services with UTI 

Each relocation service has its own set of eligibility requirements. Knowing these ahead of time can help you plan and make the most of your options.

Compass Rose Student Housing: To qualify, students must be enrolled at UTI and complete a Compass Rose application. Housing is typically offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so applying early increases your chances of securing a spot. Most Compass Rose apartments are fully furnished and require a lease agreement. 

Collegiate Housing Services: Like Compass Rose, CHS is open to enrolled UTI students. Students complete an application and can take advantage of roommate-matching services or the apartment locator program. A signed lease and security deposit are usually required, and availability may depend on the local housing market near your campus.

FAQs 

Can I combine multiple relocation services like grants and scholarships? 

It may be possible to combine grants and scholarships depending on what you qualify for.¹⁰ For example, if you qualify for a UTI relocation grant and then a scholarship after filling out a FAFSA, there is the potential to use both toward your relocation costs.

Which campus offers my preferred training program? 

UTI has multiple campuses nationwide, each offering a variety of trade school programs. Check the official UTI campus locations page to see where your desired program is offered.

Does Collegiate Housing Services or Compass Rose have an affiliation with transportation services to campus? 

Transportation options vary by location. Some housing communities are within walking distance of a campus, while others may be close to public transportation or offer shuttle services. Be sure to ask your housing provider about available options. 

Does CHS or Compass Rose offer housing communities for veterans? 

Both providers often work with veterans and may offer communities or roommate matching tailored to veterans’ needs. Contact CHS or Compass Rose directly to learn more.

Can I transfer housing if I switch to another campus? 

In many cases, yes. Both CHS and Compass Rose may provide flexibility for students who need to relocate again if they move campuses. Be sure to confirm details with your housing provider before making the move.
