Thread regarding Corinthian Colleges Inc. layoffs

Student FAQ

1. What happened today?

Effective Monday, April 27, Corinthian Colleges, the parent company for Heald College, Everest

College, WyoTech, and Everest College Phoenix, will cease operations and your campus will be

closed. We are in the process of identifying other colleges and universities to which you may be

able to transfer and complete your studies.

Everest College and WyoTech campuses that were previously sold to Zenith are not affected by

the announcement and will remain open.

1. What caused the announcement?

We want you to know that we made every effort to find a qualified buyer to purchase our

remaining campuses and keep your school open and several had expressed interest in doing so.

Unfortunately, largely as a result of recent state and federal regulatory actions, we were unable

to complete a sale, and our only option was to close our schools.

1. Who or what are the educational partnerships?

We will be hosting meetings for you to learn about options for continuing your education.

Please see the schedule on the final pages for more information.

1. Where can I obtain my transcript?

Please come to the student meetings on your campus at the designated time to obtain a copy of

your transcript. This will be the most convenient opportunity for you to obtain an official and an

unofficial transcript from your school. In the future to get official transcripts, you should contact

your state authorizing agency. Information will be posted to www.cci.edu.

1. If I am a former student, how can I obtain a transcript?

We are currently working with your state licensing agency to develop a way for you to obtain

your transcript. Please continue to check www.cci.edu.

1. Where can I find a copy of my diploma?

Unfortunately, diplomas are not available. However, an official transcript will note your degree

and graduation date.

1. I have Federal loans outstanding. What are my rights and options?

The U.S. Department of Education has two websites that provide information concerning your

rights and options.

The first website addresses students of Everest, Everest College Phoenix, WyoTech and Heald.

https://studentaid.ed.gov/about/announcements/corinthian.

The second website addresses closed schools in general. https://studentaid.ed.gov/repayloans/forgiveness-cancellation/closed-school

1. In the education section of my resume, should I remove reference to the school name?

No. You have worked very hard and in many cases have made significant sacrifices in pursuing

your education. We are enormously proud of you, and you should be proud of your education.

Note: Everest College and WyoTech campuses that were previously sold will remain open.

1. I have belongings on campus. When can I pick them up?

You will have the opportunity to pick up any belongings when you come to campus to collect

your transcript and learn more about how you can continue your education.

Please continue to check www.cci.edu for information and updates.
