My school closed and now I can’t graduate. What happens to my private student loans?

Generally, if you have private student loans, you will remain responsible for repaying this debt. 

However, some states may have programs that assist students with private student loans in the event of a school closure. In addition, some private student lenders may offer options to assist certain borrowers in this situation.
