Tennessee Higher Education Commission releases statement on ITT Technical Institute Closure
Students with questions regarding the closure can contact THEC at 615.741.5293. Additionally, THEC has posted information on its website for students at www.tn.gov/thec, along with an online form that students can complete to receive email updates. The U.S. Department of Education has also set up a website for updates and information available at http://studentaid.ed.gov/ittStudents should check this website for the most recent information regarding federal student loans. “Our immediate priority is limiting the negative impact of the closure on the nearly 2,000 Tennessee students enrolled at ITT Tech,” said THEC Executive Director Mike Krause. “This is an unprecedented occurrence and we are working with officials at ITT Tech, the US Department of Education, and other higher education institutions around the state as this rapidly-evolving situation develops.” Over 1,900 Tennessee students were enrolled at ITT Technical Institute locations, including physical locations in Chattanooga, Cordova, Johnson City, Knoxville, and Nashville, as well as an online ITT location based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Nashville location has been in operation for nearly 30 years. During the closure process, THEC will be undertaking the following activities:
“We are focused on pursuing every possible resource for these students,” said Krause. “As the situation unfolds, we will work to provide them information on a timely basis to help guide them through this process.” Most ITT Technical Institute students were between academic terms when the announcement was made today. Students were scheduled to start the next quarter on September 12th.
