The school must have lost accreditation when it closed. Hopefully, that's a temporary situation. It was a great school for 156 years.
Here's what I tell the students at the state school where I teach. Be wary if -
- if the school has a banner ad on your email screen,
- if recruiters tell you to 'not worry about costs; financial aid will cover everything,'
- if recruiters call you multiple times (I have a recruiter calling my cell every couple days from Everest College - I've called back the number),
- if the school has pop up ads, if the application process seems incredibly simplistic,
- if it seems to good to be true.
There are schools that aren't accredited. Be wary and do your due diligence with any school or program you're considering.

The free part makes sense now. They need some students to get accredited and in order to get kids to come to their lack of credentialed school, they need to make it free.
Bummer.
