Students hit by college closures

Post by Jbro » Sat Mar 27, 2010 8:52 pm

Hi,

My name is Jamil Hussein and I'm a student journalist. I'm doing research on genuine students that have been left stranded because the institutions they applied to, which had been accredited when they applied, lost its accreditation and subsequently closed.

I know this happened a lot before the governemnt clamped down on a lot of these bogus colleges. But are there still cases of genuine students being caught in the cross-fire?

For example, are there any Cambridge College of Learning students that had paid up for one of their bona fide courses (not the post graduates) but suffered because the college closed after parts of it were found to be fraudulent?

I'm just doing research on this issue for a potential pitch i have to write for a documentary. This is the news item i got the story from:

I need case studies of genuine students wronged by the system. If you can leave a message here or PM with your stories that would be great!

Cheers

Jamil
