The office of Federal Student Aid in the U.S. Department of Education notified Florida Coastal School of Law on May 13 that the school’s application for reinstatement to participate in federal student aid programs is denied.
Without access to federal student aid programs, the law school will close.
“We are currently reviewing the letter with counsel and looking at our options. We have been given 10 days to appeal the DOE decision. We submitted a teach-out plan to the ABA last week and have been in preliminary contact with them concerning this denial and we will be speaking with them further,” said Florida Coastal President and Dean Peter Goplerud in an email.
