Information for Students at Schools that Sell If Corinthian sells your school to a buyer who chooses to keep the school open, your options are very limited.
No Refund or Discharge Rights: If Corinthian sells a school, students at that school will not have a right to a refund under the agreement or to closed school loan discharge. No Refund or Discharge If New Owner Discontinues a Program: New owners may discontinue programs before students are able to complete them. If a new owner terminates a program, students who are unable to complete will not be entitled to a discharge of their federal loans or any refund from Corinthian.
Students at Schools that Sell Should Report on the Quality of Their New School
Students should document any deterioration in the quality of instruction or student services at any campus or online programs. Examples include instructors failing to show up for class, unrepaired instructional equipment, days when the campus is unexpectedly closed, or any other unusual circumstances. This means writing down observations with dates and the names of the school’s employees and student witnesses. Students should compile a list of other students and their contact information. What each of them experience can often serve as evidence to support each claims against the school. Students should submit complaints to the federal government. Although the Department of Education is still developing a complaint system, in the meantime students can submit complains through the Veteran’s Administration. You do not need to be a Veteran or be a recipient of Post 9/11 GI Bill education funds in order to submit a complaint. The VA will share your complaint with federal and state oversight agencies.
