FIND OUT HOW TO TRANSFER CREDITS FROM A CLOSED SCHOOL


  • Teach-out – A teach-out is an agreement between schools that provides for the equitable treatment of students and an opportunity for students to complete their program of study. If your school is offering a teach-out option, and you are comfortable with their ability to deliver on that promise, you can stay the course.
  • Transfer your credits to a new school – If you can’t stay at your new school, or don’t want to finish with them, then explore your options for transferring your credits to another college or university where you can finish your degree. Check to see if your school has made arrangements with another institution to make transferring easier. If they have, make sure that the school can provide you with exactly what you are looking for by reviewing its degree program in detail. Don’t settle for getting your degree at a school with a bad reputation, or in a subject that isn’t exactly what you want to study, and certainly don’t take any unnecessary risks. Even if your school has arranged a transfer program with another institution, you’ll still have options to transfer your credits to other colleges or universities that offer the specific degree you want to finish, and who also offer the credibility and stability to support your long-term career goals.
