Dowling College Loan Forgiveness:
Your Path to Total Discharge

If you attended Dowling College, there's a high chance you're eligible to eliminate your federal student loans. Here's why:

Dowling College closed its doors in 2016 amid mounting financial troubles and allegations of misleading practices. Many former students were left with non-transferable credits, no degree, and tens of thousands in debt. The good news? You could qualify for Borrower Defense to Repayment — a legal pathway to get your student loans forgiven if your school misled you.

Don't wait. Thousands of borrower defense applications are still pending – and collections resumed in May 2025.

Why Dowling College Students Qualify for Forgiveness

The Department of Education officially designated Dowling as a closed school with potential borrower defense eligibility. This means the DOE recognized possible school misconduct, including:

These are all grounds for loan discharge under the Borrower Defense rule.

Real Claims. Real Allegations.

Multiple reports and testimonies show students were left in the dark about the school’s finances, even as it neared collapse. Many discovered their degrees were considered worthless in the job market. Others were promised transfer opportunities that never materialized.

And while Dowling isn’t on the Sweet v. Cardona approved list, the DOE has still flagged it for review due to allegations of institutional misrepresentation.

Who Qualifies?

You may be eligible for a full loan discharge if:

  • You attended Dowling College
  • You borrowed federal student loans
  • You experienced deception about the school’s programs, job placement, or closure
  • You were enrolled or recently withdrew when Dowling shut down in 2016
