College Closure Checker
Is my college closing? Search a school to see college closure announcements, program cuts, and layoffs recorded by CollegeCuts since January 2024, with links to the original sources.
How to read a result
A recorded program cut, campus closure, teach-out, or staffing reduction does not necessarily mean the entire college is closing. A closure announcement may describe a future plan, and some plans are reversed. No matching records does not prove a college is financially healthy or staying open.

Frequently asked questions
What does the college closure checker show?
The checker searches CollegeCuts records of U.S. college closure announcements, program cuts, department closures, and staffing reductions announced since January 2024. Results link to the original reporting or institutional statement when available. It is a records lookup, not a prediction or a live accreditation check.
Is my college closing if program cuts are listed?
Not necessarily. A program cut, department closure, or staffing reduction does not mean the entire institution is closing. The checker separates institution closure announcements from other actions and labels reversed records. An announcement can describe a future plan rather than a completed closure.
What if my college is not listed?
No matching records does not prove a college is financially healthy or staying open. CollegeCuts is a curated tracker, not a complete census of every institution. Check the spelling and campus name, then consult the college and its accreditor for current information.
Is the college closure checker free?
Yes. You can search and read results without creating an account, signing up, or providing an email address. The checker uses recorded announcements rather than generating an AI risk prediction.
What should I do if my college is closing?
Read the linked announcement and ask the institution for written details about its timeline, teach-out or transfer arrangements, access to transcripts, and financial aid. Confirm current accreditation information with the accreditor. A record in this tool is a starting point for those questions, not personalized advice.
