In compliance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, The American College of Law maintains confidentiality of student educational records. However, the college will disclose student records without prior consent to the following parties:

Certain Government Regulatory Agencies

Individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas
Persons who request information in case of fire, health, and safety emergencies.

California law requires that, upon enrollment, a fee be assessed in relation to the cost of tuition (Educational Code 94944). These assessed fees support the Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF), a special fund established by the state of California Legislature to reimburse students who might otherwise experience a financial loss as a result of an untimely school closure.

If a student is not a California Resident, they are not eligible for protection under the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.

It is important that enrollee keep a copy of any enrollment agreement/contract, or application to document enrollment, tuition receipts, or canceled checks to document the total amount paid; and records that show the percentage of the course of study which has been completed.

Such records would substantiate a claim for reimbursement from STRF, which, to be considered must be filed within sixty (60) days following the school's closure. For further information or instruction contact:
