A Website tracks college closures. This will be a busy website moving forward. I wonder why TEL learning never put up course equivalency for Iowa Wesleyan University........appears the be going out of business in 23. Get your TEL credits in ASAP......the list of partner schools are the same sounding types of schools on the list. No name....no where schools. Federal funding staved off the closures for a few years.....reality is catching up.

Since there are more than 4000 colleges in the US, I'm going to guess that 3900 of those are no name, nowhere schools.  Unless it's very close to where you live, or a VERY well-known school like an Ivy or a big-name school, ALL schools are no name schools.

TEL created partnerships with a few schools.  It's changed here and there over the years, and will probably continue to do so.  There is no need to try to scare anyone into anything here.  Take whichever courses you want, and choose any of the schools that are available at the time.

Agreed and valid assessment. My post was harsher than intended. The point is the footing for higher ed is very shaky right now for students and caution is needed to avoid life changing financial consequences. Many students with some credit at closing schools will likely lose some/money credits at minimum which is time and money lost. A sense of what could happen and what to look out for in a school is vital more than ever. I definitely did not want to make it an alarmist post but buyer beware is very much in play in higher ed with this inflationary landscape. We can all learn lessons from these closures is the better takeaway.
