Step 1: Check the closed schools list

Check the closed schools list for your licensed Massachusetts private occupational school. Schools that closed before July 2021 were only required to hold student records for 7 years. However, check the list as records may still be available. 

You can use the filter to search by the name of the school or the community where it was located. Records may be available if there is a link in the Student Records column.
