Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Goods and Services
Revenues across UTI and Concorde consist primarily of student tuition and fees derived from the programs we provide after reductions are made for discounts and scholarships that we sponsor and for refunds for students who withdraw from our programs prior to specified dates. We apply the five-step model outlined in ASC 606. Tuition and fee revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the course or program offered.
The majority of the UTI programs are designed to be completed in 36 to 90 weeks while the MIAT programs are completed in 28 to 96 weeks. The UTI advanced training programs range from 12 to 23 weeks in duration. UTI also provides dealer technician training or instructor staffing services to manufacturers. Revenues are recognized as transfer of the services occurs.
The majority of Concorde’s core programs are nine to ten months in duration and are billed in full at the start of the program. Clinical programs are 12 to 24 month programs that are billed by academic term. Clinical programs may have up to nine academic terms that last two to three months.
In addition to revenue from tuition and fees, UTI and Concorde derive supplemental revenues from sales of textbooks and program supplies and other revenues, which are recognized as the transfer of goods or services occurs. Deferred revenue represents the excess of tuition and fee payments received as compared to tuition and fees earned and is reflected as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because it is expected to be earned within the next 12 months.
All of our revenues are generated within the United States. The impact of economic factors on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is consistent across our various programs for both UTI and Concorde. See Note 19 for disaggregated segment revenue information.
Proprietary Loan Program Notes Receivable
Certain UTI students participate in a proprietary loan program that extends repayment terms for their tuition beyond the time that they are in school. We purchase said loans from the lender. Based on historical collection rates, we believe at least a portion of these loans are collectible. Accordingly, we recognize tuition and loan origination fees financed by the loan and any related interest revenue under the effective interest method required under the loan based on the amount we expect to collect, and we recognize these revenues ratably over the term of the course or program offered. These amounts are presented as “Notes receivable, current portion” and “Notes receivable, less current portion” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables
Concorde currently and historically offers certain students retail installment contracts for payment of their tuition that are not covered by federal student financial aid or other funding sources. The retail installment contracts are due to Concorde from current and former students and are generally due over a period of one to two years and bear interest ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent. Due to the fact that there is no interest imposed on certain of the retail installment contracts, primarily while students are actively completing their selected programs, we calculate the imputed interest expense on the retail installment contracts. However, the imputed interest expense is not considered material for such retail installment contracts and therefore not recorded. The short-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses are included in “Receivables, net” while the long-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses is presented in “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for a student’s progress through our training program in relation to our services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, we do not have any contract assets that have not transferred to a receivable. Our deferred revenue is considered a contract liability and primarily relates to our enrollment agreements where we received payments for tuition, but we have not yet delivered the related training programs to satisfying the related performance obligations. The advance consideration received from students or Title IV funding is deferred revenue until the training program has been delivered to the students.
The following table provides information about receivables and deferred revenue resulting from our enrollment agreements with students:
December 31, 2022September 30, 2022

Deferred revenue75,328 54,223 
(1)     Receivables includes tuition receivables, retail installment contract receivables and notes receivable, both current and long term.
During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the deferred revenue balance included decreases for revenues recognized during the period and increases related to new students who started their training programs during the period and the addition of deferred revenue from the Concorde Acquisition.
