There is no single official “Borrower Defense list.” Two lists matter most. The Sweet v. McMahon settlement included a list of schools (Exhibit C), and the U.S. Department of Education has approved group discharges for certain schools and enrollment dates, such as ITT Tech, Corinthian, and the Art Institutes.
Search for your school below to see what is known about it. A school’s name on this page is not a finding that it misled you, and it does not mean you qualify. If your school is not on any list, you can still file your own claim if the school misled you.
Anyone can apply for free at StudentAid.gov/borrower-defense. Not sure which rules apply to your loans? Read our Borrower Defense guide. Legal Touch is a private company, not a law firm, and not the government.
