Anthem School Closure Up-date
Summarized below are updates for your review to assist with moving forward with your education:
Teach-Out or Transfer Agreement
Anthem has a formal agreement with Carrington College to honor the cost of your tuition. This option is
available for you to complete your education at the Lloyd Center location. Please refer to the enclosure
to review the terms of this agreement. If you decide to pursue this option you can call 503-761-6100 to
schedule an appointment.
Many of you have met with other schools in the area to discuss potentially completing your
education. All other schools outside of Carrington College are evaluating your coursework and
determining what courses will transfer in to their respective programs.
Transcripts
A transcript will be necessary for the receiving school to make determinations on your schedule in these
instances. Please review the Transcript Request form to make this request. Transcripts were provided
to students at the September 19th Informational Workshops. All transcripts not picked up at the time of
the workshop have been mailed to your home addresses for all active students at the time of the
campus closure. Students will be charged $12 per transcript for additional transcript.
