you've probably seen ads promising education for the future. >> now thousands of itt tech students are stranded after the company announced it is shutting doors effective immediately. and two of the colleges are here in the area. >> we are live from the concord campus from reaction and what students need to know. lyanne? >> reporter: students should know that loans could be forgiven if they have not completed their degree. and so many ifs for students trying to do the right thing and trying to get ahead in life. confused students came to the

tech offices in concord demanding answers. the school was already closed for the quarter break and now it will remain that way permanently. students were notified via e-mail. randy was scheduled to get his degree in network security in three months. >> we just shut a school down and they just stopped finances and for me they stopped me from graduating and getting my degree, therefore getting me a better job. >> reporter: the school was being investigated for the recruiting and accounting practices and high tuition. >> the priorities were more around recruitment and enrolling students and not so much on student success. >> reporter: finally the department of education told itt it could no longer enroll new students who are on federal financial aid. today the department put out this statement. the school's decisions have put its students and millions of dollars in taxpayer funded federal student aid at risk.

>> i was on financial aid and they told me that, you know, it was supposed to pay the 46,000 and i would only have to pay $22,000, but that is still a lot of money that i can't afford right now. >> reporter: monroe martinez took out a loan to cover the $22,000. the company that owns the 130 campuses blames the department of education for forcing it to shut down. saying there was a complete disregard by the department of education for due process to the company. the school is letting students know they may be able to transfer some credits to other schools. in concord, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. so what happens now to students who suddenly find themselves without a school? >> seven on your side michael finney continues with our team covera coverage. you feel so bad for the kids that are enrolled and one young man took out a loan and now he is stuck with that. >> a majority of them took out loans. that is how they paid for this. and so there are a lot of people on the hook for thousands and

thousands of dollars. there are two major issues. what happens to the credit they earned at itt and will they be responsible for all of the money for the student loans? the department of education announced students would be eligible to have federal loans forgiven if they start all over at another school. the education department is encouraging community colleges to be flexible in accepting credits from itt. and the educational services said they will assist students in obtaining records and pursuing education elsewhere. however, itt warns it might be difficult to transfer credits to another school. some say the most likely prospect might be other for-profit schools but right now many of the schools are under federal scrutiny and students may be not willing to take that risk. the education department has an 800 number to answer student questions. that number is 800-4-fed aid and a special website is set up. several webinars are expected to

be announced soon to help students figure out options. we have a link on our website at abc7news.com and seven on your side. look, here is some of my advice right now, if they are going to allow to you drop the loans if you start all over again, you might want to start all over again at a local community college. often these exact same programs are offered only for a few hundred drrollars. so check that out. >> good advice. thank you, michael. british airways said flights are gradually returning to normal after a systemwide outage caused worldwide delays. the computer problem made probables at kiosks and a number of internet airports. we were at sfo and thousands of travelers had to wait for hours and they encourage passengers to check in online today before getting to the airport to minimize further delays. a black lives matter protest forced a temporary closure of a london airport. people arrested nine people at
