How I do find transcripts from schools in Rhode Island that have closed? The schools are Computer-Ed Business Institute (North Providence, RI), graduated in October 1997 and Hall Institute of Technology (Pawtucket, RI), graduated in August 1979. Thank you.

Hope this will help, hers what I got when I googled your question http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/ClosedSchool_StudentGuide.pdf

Based on this page (http://studentaid2.ed.gov/gotocollege/campustour/undergraduate/2077/ComputerEd_Business_Institute__North_Providence/ComputerEd_Business_Institute__North_Providence1.h tml) and the link, it looks like Computer Ed Business Institute may have been absorbed into Lincoln Schools: Career Training Institute - Lincoln Technical Institute Career Training Schools (http://www.lincolnedu.com/)

It might be worth contacting Lincoln Schools to see if they know or have your transcript. If that doesn't work, you'll want to contact the board of governors for higher ed: RIBGHE - Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education (http://www.ribghe.org/)

For Hall, it looks like you'll need to contact the board of governors for higher ed.
