SAN ANTONIO — The Art Institute is shutting its doors, but not just at the San Antonio campus. They’re shutting down all of their schools across Texas and the U.S. This is effective immediately, leaving many students lost.
It all came down in an unexpected email that has flipped the world of students at the Art Institute of San Antonio as well as other Art Institute campuses across the country. That includes Miami International University of Art & Design (FL), its global online programs, and its branches, The Art Institute of Tampa (FL), The Art Institute of Dallas (TX), the Art Institute of Atlanta (GA), the Art Institute of Virginia Beach (VA), the Art Institute of Austin (TX) and The Art Institute of San Antonio (TX).
We took a closer look at the school’s website. It explains how to get your transfer papers and the school says they're working with partners to help with possible transfers. There's also a link to student loan help from the government. One program has already stopped accepting new cases. The other will only let students pause loan repayments. It won't forgive loans when a school abruptly closes like this.
