Name Changes and Records from Closed Institutions

If the University maintains records for an institution you attended that has since closed, please review the information below.

The University maintains the official academic records for certain institutions that have closed. In accordance with applicable accreditation and record-retention requirements, these records are preserved in their original form to ensure the accuracy, integrity and authenticity of the academic history at the time of attendance. Because the records are maintained exactly as received from the closed institution, the University does not have the capability to alter, amend, or modify them in any way, including the student name as it appeared at the time of enrollment.
