Sheldon Jackson College is obliged to offer a teach out agreement for students with less than 30 credits remaining. This offer is due by August 1st, unless the College successfully wins appeal of their license suspension with Alaska Post Secondary.
And if they fail to offer the teach out to eligible students by then? A student may be reimbursed for lost tuition and/or costs of completing their degree. See the comments section for exact wording. Contact ACPSE for more information.

20 AAC 17.117. Closure of institution or cessation of program. (a) An institution
shall provide enrolled students at least 60 days written notice of impending closure of the
institution, cessation of a program, or substantial changes in a program of the type listed
in (b) of this section. At the same time, the institution shall provide the commission
written notice on a form provided by the commission.
(b) Within 30 days after an institution closes or ceases offering a program in which a
student is enrolled, the institution shall provide full refunds of all tuition and other costs
incurred by the student or other funding source on behalf of the student, unless it is able
to provide a student with an alternative program, approved by commission staff, that is
substantially equivalent as to
(1) program content;
(2) quality of instruction and equipment;
(3) period of program;
(4) accreditation status;
(5) credentials;
(6) accessibility;
(7) placement assistance; and
(8) facility.
(c) The refund requirement of (b) of this section does not apply to that portion of a
program that the student has completed and for which the student has received academic
credit that is transferable to a like institution with substantially similar student
accessibility including student cost and physical proximity of the training location.
(d) Subsections (a) – (c) of this section apply to an institution even if the closure or
cessation of a program occurs without fault of the institution.
(e) An institution may not enroll a student into a program if it reasonably expects that the
student will be unable to complete the program because of impending closure of the
institution or cessation of the program. In addition to other penalties and requirements
that may apply, an institution is subject to a civil fine of $1,000 for each student enrolled
in violation of this subsection and to a civil fine of $1,000 for each day that the institution
offers enrollment in violation of this subsection. (Eff. 4/24/98, Register 146; am
