##### Closed School Guide for Students

![](media/image2.wmf){width="3.125in"
height="2.922222222222222in"}Unfortunately schools, like other
businesses, do not always have the resources to continue their
operations and must close. Although this is a frustrating experience, we
hope that it will not discourage you from continuing your education. We
have prepared this guide to help you sort out some of your options and
help you take steps to continue your education. The U.S. Department of
Education, Accrediting Bodies, State Licensing Agencies, and Guarantee
Agencies may assist you with various aspects of the process. The roles
and responsibilities of each agency and contact points are listed at

the end of this document.

##  First Steps

It is important that you obtain your academic and financial records as
soon as possible. How to do this is discussed later in the brochure.
Since your school has closed, your ability to access these records from
the school may be short lived. These records will be needed if you plan
to transfer into another program of study as they will help your new
school determine what Federal student aid you have received and
coursework you have successfully completed. This information will then
help the school determine how many credits may transfer into your new
program of study and how much student aid you may qualify for the
remainder of the school year.

## On to Completing Your Education...

### To Transfer or Participate in a Teach-Out

![](media/image3.wmf){width="3.625in"
height="1.7631944444444445in"}These are two terms that may arise if you
continue your educational program and you are able to use some or all of
your academic credit toward the completion of your educational program.

A teach-out is a situation where another school offers to allow you to
complete a similar or identical program of study for which you should
not incur additional costs other than those you would have paid had you
been able to complete your program at the school that closed.

![](media/image4.wmf){width="3.245138888888889in"
height="2.571527777777778in"}

To transfer is a situation where you use the academic credits or clock
hours you earned at the school that closed toward the completion of a
similar or different program of study at another school. You may incur
additional costs when you transfer to cover any additional charges
necessary to pay for the credits or clock hours you need to complete
your program of study. You will need to check with the school at which
you wish to transfer to find out if some or all of the credits you
earned at the closed school are transferable.

> **Finding a Teach-out or Transfer Program**

![](media/image5.wmf){width="2.111111111111111in"
height="1.8333333333333333in"}

You should contact the State licensing agency in your state that
oversees postsecondary schools for information as to whether there are
any schools in your area that will allow you to complete your education
through a teach-out or by transferring. (See the attached list for State
licensing agencies.)

## Financing

![](media/image6.wmf){width="4.375in" height="2.0in"}If you received
Federal student aid at a school that closed, [and]{.underline} you are
considering a teach-out or transferring to another school, you may be
eligible for Federal student aid. This will depend on your need, the
cost of attending the new school, and how much Federal student aid has
already been disbursed to you. The last item is probably the most
critical here as there are limits on how much Federal student aid you
can receive in an academic year. The financial aid office at your new
school will be able to help you determine how much you have already
received and for how much money you will qualify. You may find out how
much Federal student aid you received by contacting the sources below.

**Financial Aid Disbursements**

![](media/image7.wmf){width="6.125in" height="8.25in"}

You may have received student financial aid from many different sources
such as the Federal government, State government, or private lending
institutions. The amount of aid received from these sources may affect
your ability to receive future financial aid.

**Federal Aid -- Department of Education**

You may find out how much Federal student aid you received from the U.S.
Department of Education (such as Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, PLUS
Loans, Perkins Loans), by visiting the Department's website
[http://www.nslds.ed.gov](http://www.nslds.ed.gov/). This will link you
to the Department's website to access your personal data. To access this
data, you will need to enter a personal identification number (PIN). The
PIN serves as your identifier and lets you access your personal
information. You should not share your PIN with anyone.

PIN numbers were mailed previously to all Federal student aid
applicants, however, if you are unable to locate yours, you may apply
for one at [http://PIN.ed.gov](http://PIN.ed.gov/)**.** If you need
technical assistance accessing this website, please contact Customer
Service at **1-800-4FED-AID (433-3243).** They are available
Monday-Friday, 7:00AM -- 10:00PM central time. Once the Department
receives your PIN request, you will receive it in the mail (or email) in
about 14 days. When using your PIN, be sure to type it exactly as it
appears on the correspondence you receive from the Department of
Education.

**Federal Aid -- Other Agencies**

![](media/image8.wmf){width="2.8333333333333335in"
height="3.7777777777777777in"}

If you have received Financial aid from other Federal Government
agencies such as the Department of Veteran's Affairs or the Department
of Health and Human Services, you should contact those agencies
directly. You may contact the Department of Veteran's Affairs at
1-888-442-4551 or http://www.gibill.va.gov/education/benefits.htm.You
may contact the Department of Health and Human Services at (301)
443-4776 or <http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/dsa/pages/programs.htm>.

![](media/image9.wmf){width="3.2777777777777777in"
height="2.138888888888889in"}

## Student Aid from Non-Federal Sources

If you have received student financial aid from other sources, such as
your State or from a private lending source, you will need to contact
those sources directly to determine what monies were disbursed to you.
This link will lead you to US State sources that provide financial aid
to students: <http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/state.phtml.>

### 

### Academic Records

#### 

#### Locating Your Academic Records

If you were not able to obtain your academic records prior to your
school closing, or immediately thereafter, you should contact the State
licensing agency in the State in which the school was located for
assistance in obtaining your records. (See the attached list for
applicable state licensing agencies.) Some of these agencies take
possession of student records as a matter of State law or policy when
schools in their states close. Other agencies may make arrangements for
storage of the student records.

####  Loan Discharge

If you are unable to complete your education because you attended a
school that closed, and did not accept a teach-out or transfer to
another school, you may be eligible for a discharge of your loan if you
have a Federal Stafford, PLUS, or Perkins Loan.

Loan discharges are not automatic with the closure of a school. You must
send an application for loan discharge to the holder of your loan to
have your loan discharged.

-   You are eligible for a closed school loan discharge if you received
    your loan on or after January 1, 1986 and you (or the student for
    whom a parent

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   were on an approved leave of absence the day the school closed, or

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   withdrew from the school not more than 90 days before school closed,
    and

-   you did not complete and are not now in the process of completing,
    this or a comparable program of study at another school by
    transferring academic credits or hours earned at the closed school
    to another school, or by any other means.

#### 

#### Discharge of Federal Stafford, PLUS or Direct loans

![](media/image12.wmf){width="3.0in" height="2.9166666666666665in"}

When a school closes, a closed school loan discharge application is sent
to each Federal Stafford or PLUS loan borrower on record as attending
(or in the case of a PLUS loan the student on whose behalf the parent
borrowed) the school when it closed. If you do not receive an
application in the mail you may contact the holder directly for this
application. You may also obtain a loan discharge application on-line
at:
[www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/Students/closedschool/index.html](http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/Students/closedschool/index.html)
or
[www.ed.gov/offices/SFAP/DCS/cancel/home.html](http://www.ed.gov/offices/SFAP/DCS/cancel/home.html).

![](media/image13.wmf){width="2.25in" height="3.7777777777777777in"}

#### Discharge of Perkins Loans

You will need to submit a closed school loan discharge application to
the Debt Collection Service (DCS) office within the U.S. Department of
Education. Once a school closes, its Perkins loan portfolio will be
assigned to DCS. If your school no longer has personnel available to
answer questions you have concerning your Perkins loan, you should
contact DCS at the following number 800-4FED-AID (433-3243).

#### 

#### Discharge of Non-Federal Loans

![](media/image14.wmf){width="2.245138888888889in" height="1.875in"}

You would need to contact the holders of your loans to inquire about
what relief may be available to you concerning these loans. You may
contact the State licensing agency to inquire about whether a tuition
recovery fund or performance bond was made available for students to
submit claims against to cover any losses they incurred by borrowing to
attend the school that closed.

#### 

#### Impact of Loan Discharge on Future Borrowing

Once your application has been approved for discharge, the discharged
loan balance will be removed from your account. Consequently, your
annual and aggregate Federal borrowing limits will not include the
discharged loan(s).

#### ![](media/image15.wmf){width="3.0in" height="1.875in"}FAQ's Regarding Federal Loan Discharge

Q: Should I make payments on my loan while my discharge application is
pending?

A: A borrower generally does not need to start making payments on his or
her loan until 6 months after the borrower is no longer enrolled at
least half-time in school. If the holder of your loan begins to attempt
to collect on the loan(s) you borrowed to attend the school that closed,
please contact the holder immediately so that you do not become
delinquent or default on your loans.

![](media/image15.wmf){width="0.875in" height="0.625in"}

Q: What if I am not eligible for loan discharge?

A: If you attended a school that closed but do not meet the conditions
outlined above for loan discharge, or if you borrowed a loan that is not
eligible for loan discharge, you are obligated to pay the remaining
balance of the loan. If you do not work with the holder of the loan to
stay in good standing with respect to your loan obligations, your credit
rating may be adversely affected and you may be subject to additional
financial penalties such as collection fees, legal fees and court costs.
You should contact the holder of your loan and work with them to arrange
reasonable and affordable payments.

![](media/image15.wmf){width="0.8333333333333334in"
height="0.6645833333333333in"}

Q: Do I have appeal rights in my loan is not discharged?

A: There is no appeal process if your application is denied for a closed
school discharge.

#### When a School Files for Bankruptcy

![](media/image17.wmf){width="1.8381944444444445in"
height="1.0791666666666666in"}When a school files for bankruptcy, its
assets are placed in control of the bankruptcy court. In order to make
any claim to against the school for any money it owes you, you will need
to file a petition for your loss with the bankruptcy court. You may also
consult an attorney about any other options you may have through the
court system to redeem any losses.

######## 

######## ![](media/image18.wmf){width="2.125in" height="3.625in"}Tuition Recovery

If you made cash payments or borrowed private loans to pay for tuition
at the closing institution, those funds may be completely or partly
recoverable if your State has a tuition recovery fund. You should
contact the appropriate State agency on the attachment to inquire about
whether it has a tuition recovery fund.

#### 

#### U.S. Department of Education

The United States Department of Education is responsible for the
oversight of the Federal Student Assistance Programs. These programs
include the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS,
Federal Direct Loan, Federal Perkins Loan,

![](media/image19.wmf){width="2.75in" height="2.875in"}Federal SEOG, and
Federal Work-Study Programs. The Department of Education's
responsibilities include monitoring the expenditure of funds under these
programs.

#### 

#### Accrediting Bodies

The accrediting agency is responsible for ensuring that a school is
operating in compliance with the agency's standards, policies, and

procedures for educational quality. Routinely, the agency will work with
the school to continue to provide its accreditation during a teach-out.
However, when a school closes, it loses accreditation and is no longer a
subject school of the accrediting body. The agency will usually respond
to inquiries about the school after it closes; however, it is not
responsible for the actions after closure since the school is no longer
present to respond to allegations that are lodged against it. Students
may call the school's accrediting agency for further information about
its accrediting standards, policies, and procedures.

#### ![](media/image20.wmf){width="2.5555555555555554in" height="2.013888888888889in"}State Licensing Agencies

The State licensing agencies are responsible for ensuring that a school
meets the conditions for licensure in its state. The State licensing
agencies may be able to assist you with obtaining your academic
transcripts, financial records, locating a school for teach-out or
transfer, or issues related to tuition recovery.

#### 

#### 

#### Guarantee Agencies

The guarantee agencies are either non-profit or governmental
organizations that oversee the Federal Stafford loan and Federal PLUS
loans in their area of jurisdiction. Their responsibilities include
guaranteeing Federal Stafford and PLUS loans and overseeing the schools
that participate in their loan guarantee program.
