When a college shuts down, students need proof of their grades and coursework. That proof comes in the form of their official college transcripts.

And so former students at Argosy University and the Art Institutes — for-profit colleges operated by the Dream Center chain that shut down last month — have been requesting official transcripts en masse. More than 40,000 students have submitted requests.
