Teacher Education Workshop Series

All application materials must be submitted at time of completion. Please be prepared with all your application materials. Once the application has been started, you cannot save and return at a later time.

Students are reminded that they should have all copies of transcripts sent directly to them to upload to their application. No transcripts should be sent to the UITE.

We recommend students use our Checklists to verify that they have all of the documentation needed to submit their application. Applications must be completed all at once. You cannot save your application and return to it at a later time.

Students: Do not submit more than one application or more than one letter of recommendation form. If you made an error or if your recommender didn't receive the email, please contact kristen.lindsay@utah.edu. Submitting the letter of recommendation form multiple times only creates issues within the OnBase system and will delay your application moving through the admissions process.

UITE no longer requires a letter of recommendation. Recommenders will instead complete a form only (recieved via email) and submit the form.

If they would like to supplement the form with a specific letter of recommendation, they may do so. For letters to be considered part of the application, they will need to be sent to Kristen Lindsay, kristen.lindsay@utah.edu no later than February 1, 2026 for students planning to apply for the 2026-2027 licensure year.
