State of California Student Tuition Recovery Fund

The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the State Legislature to protect any California resident who attends a private post-secondary institution from losing money if he/she prepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school: (a) closing; (b) failing to live up to its enrollment agreement; or (c) refusing to pay a court judgment.

To be eligible for STRF, you must be a "California resident" and reside in California at the time the enrollment agreement is signed or when you received lessons at a California mailing address from an approved institution offering correspondence instruction. Students who are temporarily residing in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an education, especially those who hold student visas, are not considered a "California resident."

To qualify for STRF reimbursement, you must file a STRF application within one year of receiving notice from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education that the school is closed. If you do not receive notice from the Bureau, you have four (4) years from the date of closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained, you must file a STRF application within two (2) years of the final judgment.

It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, financial aid papers, receipts or any other information that documents the monies paid to the school.

CNU pays the State-imposed fee to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education for each California Student.
