What happens if my university goes bankrupt while I am studying?

If your university declares bankruptcy while you’re enrolled, your academic progress and financial situation may be affected. The institution might cease operations, potentially disrupting classes, exams, or degree conferrals. However, accredited universities often have contingency plans, such as transferring students to partner institutions or arranging teach-out agreements.

Your credits may remain valid if transferred to another accredited school, but this isn’t guaranteed. Financial obligations, like tuition fees or loans, typically still apply. Contact your university’s administration, relevant education authorities, or student union immediately to explore options for continuing your education and addressing any financial concerns.
