Notification for California Students

“The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or

mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying

institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency

program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss.

Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the

STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a

California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.

You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF

assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.”

“It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents,

receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions

regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747

North Market Blvd., Suite 225, Sacramento, California, 95834, (916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-

7589.

To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or are enrolled in a residency

program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an

economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the

institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan

approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau.

2. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period

before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an

educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued.

3. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before

the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by

the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or

value of the program more than 120 days before closure.

4. The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.

5. The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan

program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the

institution in excess of tuition and other costs.

6. You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or

court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but

have been unable to collect the award from the institution.

7. You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student

loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student

loan or loans.

To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from

the date of the action or event that made the student eligible for recovery from STRF.

A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of noncollection

may, at any time, file a written application for recovery from STRF for the debt that would have

otherwise been eligible for recovery. If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or

event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for

recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by

another act of law.

However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer

identification number.”
