"If you’re close to graduating, within six months, do what you need to do to graduate"

The schools in receivership IMO will not be around past March 31, plausibly June 30 at the latest (close of the fiscal year), but with minimal class offerings and only part-time instructors by then and no guarantee the needed classes for graduation will be offered.

Any student hearing of a school going into receivership, reading articles about it, receiving email from the school, and not planning an exit strategy should rethink their education opportunities. While the schools are still under a regional accreditation, and open so you can get ahold of your transcripts, get references from staff and instructors, this is the best time to transfer. Once you receive the teach out plan notification your options for transferring will be severely limited.

What DCEH school are you currently attending? There is zero reference to a school in this post.

Talk about a catch-twenty-two.

If students transfer out, the schools will close for sure. Especially the schools that are no longer enrolling new students.

@XJeCWrY, what campus were you attending?

"If anyone says the degree from the school is pointless, then I can just argue saying that every college graduate is paying an exceptional amount for a piece of paper that's framed nicely."

Unfortunately I used to work for DCEH (trust me I'm not proud, but I was one of the few in my building who wouldn't swindle students)

XJeCWrY-lew I can assure you that a degree from here is worthless compared to one from a reputable institution

If you’re close to graduating, within six months, do what you need to do to graduate, even if you have to take an extra course or two. If not, I agree with the original post to transfer quickly before the system buckles, or worse, accreditation is lost.

It's catch-twenty-two for me Bud.

I graduate next quarter, meaning I could get my Bachelors. Or leave now still pay my loans and not receive my degree. Either way I'm in a position to where I can get my degree that I worked hard for. Or get loan forgiveness (That might not even if be approved) and stop pursuing any college degree entirely, because if i recall correctly, if I try to pursue any degree after, that tuition gets added back on.

If anyone says the degree from the school is pointless, then I can just argue saying that every college graduate is paying an exceptional amount for a piece of paper that's framed nicely.

Besides, in my industry skill, trumps education in my field. At this point it is just a matter of pride in what you've done, and accomplished for that degree. Speaking for myself. I accomplished a lot.
