Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Other than described below, there have been no material changes or developments in our significant accounting policies or evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies from those disclosed in Note 2 of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. New Significant Accounting Policy for Retail Installment Contract Receivables Concorde currently and historically offers certain students retail installment contracts for payment of their tuition that is 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. Retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. 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. Reclassifications As previously noted, as a result of the Concorde Acquisition, beginning with this reporting period we have two reportable segments: UTI and Concorde. Additionally, “Corporate” includes corporate related expenses that are not allocated to either the UTI or Concorde reportable segments. The segment disclosures presented in Note 19 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 have been revised from the prior year presentation to reflect the new reportable segments. Additionally, starting with the three months ended December 31, 2022, we have reclassified “Accrued tool sets” into “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” for reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2022, $3.2 million was reclassified from “Accrued tool sets” to “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for comparable presentation. The breakout of accrued tool sets is now disclosed in Note 12. Further, the activity related to the accrued tool sets balance is now reported in the “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” line on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2022. We reclassified $0.5 million from “Accrued tool sets” to “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended December 31, 2021 for comparable presentation.
