25% at Open Campuses

I am adjunct faculty at a school that is closing. I heard this from a former student today who has looked into transferring to a nearby campus that is staying open. I have not verified the information but he is a very reliable student so I do trust his word.

He can finish his associates degree in one subject at our campus by the end of Fall 18 quarter. He had officially switched majors and had contemplated finishing the second associates at the open nearby campus. He's a few quarters off (likely could finish both degrees by next spring quarter). He was informed that his gen eds wouldn't transfer properly and that students were only being accepted if they had less than 25% of the program to go.

Meaning that for students that just started our closing school's programs, they won't be accepted at the open school.

This particular student has decided just to graduate out on our campus with the 1 degree at the end of Fall. But the 25% bit doesn't seem to give hope for the open campuses to stay open for long. I know that the enrollment for that school had also dipped (and was originally on the rumor list for being shut down).

This was on another discussion topic:

Students that are enrolled when their school closes or within 120 days of the school closing are eligible to have all of their federal student loans canceled as long as they don't sign anything or accept a teach-out or transfer.

Accreditation or not, there is no excuse for this internal spitefulness or is it a scam being perpetrated against students just to get more money for DCEH?

Why isn’t Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission and State Attorney General looking into these scams?

We all know that ALL remaining Ai campuses will be technical training schools by January 2018, they will no longer be offering “degrees” only Ai Online will have degree programs.

Students, please just cut your losses and move on. If your school is closing you can receive a full refund, DCEH does not want you to know that, but it is fact.

If an Ai won’t be willing to accept a sister Ai’s credits in this special circumstance to help a fellow institution’s students (they are all Ai after all and all DCEH), what hope is there for a student looking to transfer to a different school not in the system?

DCEH leadership, or if there is still Ai leadership, needs to step in instead of allowing this type of behavior.

I've heard the same thing. Gen Eds aren't transferring between ACICS and regional, and some regional to regional aren't even transferring.

Dceh is doing nothing to assist these students either.

This is a serious complaint and I'd tell students to get lawyers!

Word on the street is that the AI brand will be gone sooner rather than later
