Vatterott Colleges: Information for Students

The following fact sheets provide important information about options for students, including:
- obtaining your academic transcripts;

- determining if you qualify for a discharge of your student loan(s);
- knowing the steps in the loan discharge process;
- transferring your credits to another school; and
- contacting your loan servicer.
U.S. Department of Education's Closed School Guide For Students
The U.S. Department of Education has prepared a guide to help students sort out some of the options that are available for students attending a school that will be closing, and to help students take the necessary steps to continue their education. This guide includes information on finding a teach-out or transfer program, financing, federal aid, academic records, and tuition recovery (if applicable to your state). The U.S. Department of Education, Accrediting Bodies, State Licensing Agencies, and Guarantee Agencies may assist you with various aspects of the process.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education issued a memorandum for students who may be eligible for a loan discharge given a school's closure.
