Dr. Paula Langteau experience a college closure first hand as President of Presentation College. Her efforts provide a positive example on how to provide guidance and support to students and their familes at the time of closure.
She joins me on this special podcast episode of 'This Week' to share guidance for college leaders, students, their families and others.
If you are unfamiliar with the phrase 'college teach-outs', here are some basic points.
Ensuring Student Completion: A teach-out is a structured plan implemented when a college is closing, designed to allow current students to complete their programs of study or transfer their credits to another institution.
Accreditation Oversight: These plans are typically required and overseen by the institution's accrediting agency, ensuring that student interests are protected and educational quality is maintained during the closure process.
Formal Agreements: Teach-outs often involve formal agreements with other accredited colleges or universities to accept the closing institution's students and their credits, sometimes at a comparable tuition rate.
Continuation of Services: During a teach-out, the closing institution is generally expected to continue providing necessary academic and support services for students until they have completed their studies or successfully transferred.
