Closed School Monthly Reports
The Closed School Monthly Reports (CSMR) are the official lists that guaranty agencies may use to discharge loans for students who meet the eligibility requirements under 34 CFR Section 682.402(d) of the Federal Family Education Loan Program regulations. All closed schools can be found via the Closed School Search Page.
The reports contain two sections. Section I lists all the closed schools reported during the month. Section II lists the changes or updates to schools already in Postsecondary Education Participants System (PEPS) or to school closure data that was in error.
Students who are looking for transcripts can get more information on the Closed School Information Page and in the Closed School Guide for Students.
The reports are saved in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF), so you must use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them. If you do not already have the Acrobat Reader, a free copy may be downloaded at:
If you experience technical problems receiving or opening the reports, please send an email to FSA_PEPS@ED.GOV.
