Closed College and University Diploma Copies
We Commonly Help With
Over the years, many colleges, universities, vocational schools, and institutions have closed, merged, or changed ownership. Below are some commonly searched schools, which people search online, and ultimately come to us looking for near-exact reproduction copy of Argosy transcripts or certificate.
ITT Technical Institute
Founded: 1969
Closed: 2016
ITT Technical Institute was a major career-focused educational institution, serving students nationwide before operations ended. Official records information: Consequently, students seeking transcripts or educational records must check state education resources, or official custodians.
Argosy University
Founded: 2001
Closed: 2019
Argosy University served students in psychology, education, business, and health-related fields before closure. They were pioneers in "online degree programs," and had campuses throughout the United States. All official student academic records, and degree verifications, are now managed by third-party services and state higher education regulators. A good "starting point," would be to contact Parchment for education verification.
Brown Mackie College
Founded: 1892
Shuttered: 2017
Operating for over 120 years before its closure in 2017, Brown Mackie College educated thousands of professionals in technical and medical fields. Since original documents from this multi-campus institution can be difficult to replace, we're here, and specialize in creating precise- commemorative replicas suitable for framing.
Corinthian Colleges (Everest College, Heald College, WyoTech)
Ceased Operation: 2017
This was one of the largest college collapses in U.S. history, affecting over 70,000 students at once, across multiple brands like Everest, and WyoTech. There are assistance programs that can help you obtain degree and transcript verifications.
The Art Institutes
Founded: 1969
Shut Down: 2023
The Art Institutes, was a massive network of art and design schools (including major hubs in Miami, Houston, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh) that phased out - over a decade before completely shutting down. Sadly, the closure of The Art Institutes was driven by declining enrollment, the economic impacts of the pandemic, and long-standing financial and legal struggles.
This is in-no-way, an exhaustive list. Schools, Colleges, Universities, and other educational institution closures can be found on the web, searching by State, or looking at this "Defunct College-University in the United States."

Common Questions We're Asked About Closed Institution Awards
Is my degree still valid even though the university has closed?
Yes, your degree or certificate remains completely valid if school has closed. A college closure doesn't negate the academic credits, graduation status, or credentials you rightfully earned while the institution was operational and accredited. Your achievements stand on their own merit; however, because the physical campus registrar no longer exists to print display copies, alumni rely on independent design studios like DegreeMajor to craft premium, commemorative physical degree college or university replacements, for their offices or studios.
Can you accurately replicate the details for my specific campus?
Absolutely. Unlike generic online templates, we analyze historical documents across the entire network—whether you graduated from a College in Los Angeles, or a flagship University in Las Vegas, we match the precise era-specific typography, weight and color of paper, and seal of your degree. From embossed gold foil, to multi-color reflective foil, no detail is sacrificed, in order to replace your legacy.
A Useful Replica Degree vs A Useless Piece of Paper.
To be entirely clear: our custom-engineered archival replicas are built strictly for premium display, family pride, and personal record-keeping. They are not a shortcut around the official academic process. We do not design documents to misrepresent graduation status, nor should they ever be used to mislead employers, licensing boards, or academic institutions. For formal background verifications, always secure your official data files directly from your school's designated state custodian.
Reclaiming a Father’s Legacy: A Story of Restoring What Was Lost
A few weeks ago, we received a deeply moving message from a client, that reminded us exactly why we do this work. She were was kind enough to grant us full permission to share their story here on our website, and frankly, her feedback was so inspiring to our entire studio - that we wanted to feature it in its entirety. For anyone looking to safeguard a family member's academic achievements after an institution shuts down, this experience beautifully demonstrates how we can help you honor that legacy. "To the extent we serve, we succeed."
"For over thirty years, my father’s accounting school degree was a permanent fixture on his office wall—a daily reminder of his hard work and dedication. But, when a burst pipe severely water-damaged the document, he was absolutely devastated. Because his alma mater had permanently closed its doors decades ago, finding a replacement felt impossible. The standard National Student Clearinghouse routes couldn't help with a physical reprint, and state archives only offered basic transcripts. I was considering buying a fake college degree online, but no-one could reproduce the detail of this particular school certificate. Seeing that empty space on his wall, knowing a piece of his history was just gone, broke my heart.
I refused to give up, and spent nights searching for a solution, until I luckily discovered the degree team at DegreeMajor. They were an absolute lifesaver. I provided details from an old photo I'd taken with him in his office, and their staff perfectly mapped the vintage layout, made it the proper - commanding - 11x14 size, and brought it back to life.
For his birthday, I surprised him with the restored, replacement degree copy, beautifully encased in a custom mahogany frame. When he opened it, he actually teared up. Seeing his pride restored and that historic milestone hanging right back where it belongs on his office wall was priceless. His school may have closed, but thanks to this incredible service, his legacy is safely preserved."
It's unfortunate, but, whether you've attended a closed college, a closed university, or a closed technical school, or are helping someone in this difficult situation, your academic achievement deserves to be preserved.
