I attended Phillips Junior College in Northridge, CA from 10/1993 thru 04/1995. I have been able to obtain certified copies of my transcripts from the following custodian of records: Transcript Processing c/o CCI P.O. Box 1840 Gulfport, MS 39502 You must provide your full name, the school name and location, dates of attendance, to whom the transcript should be sent, and a money order in the amount of $7.50. Best of luck!

I would like to tell you there is an easy solution, but I have some leads. As a For-profit college, they had few governmental connections. If it were me:

1) Have you written to the address that the college used to reside?  They may forward it for you to the person taking mail.  I found two listings for a Phillips Junior College around LA County.  Might they have moved?

A great resource for information and support on closed for-profit colleges is:

Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education

Department of Consumer Affairs

1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112

Sacramento, CA 95834

Phone:(800) 952-5210, http://www.dca.ca.gov/

Authority to approve private postsecondary and vocational schools and colleges to operate in California is vested in the Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education(BPPVE). State Approval means the institution meets minimum standards established by BPPVE for integrity, financial stability, and educational quality. A list of approved schools is available on their website. In addition, BPPVE investigates whether closed schools may have violated state or federal law. If so, students may be eligible for a refund of all or part of tuition and other costs, such as the cost of books. If a state-approved institution closes, state law requires the institution to arrange for the storage and safekeeping in California of all transcripts. The length of retention varies by type of institution. If the institution granted degrees, the transcripts must be maintained for 50 years. If it was a vocational institution, the transcripts must be maintained for 5 years. The repository for the records is decided on a case-by-case basis. They should know if the college is truly closed, and what you can do about transcripts.

Best of luck,  Michael
