What is a Teachout Agreement?
A Teachout agreement in higher education refers to a formal arrangement made between academic institutions when one institution decides to discontinue a particular program or close altogether. This agreement outlines the steps and provisions for ensuring that current students in the affected program have the opportunity to complete their education uninterrupted or to transfer to a comparable program at another institution. Since EGCC has paused enrollment beyond the spring 2024 semester, the college must enter into Teachout agreements with partner teach out institutions.
Overall, the primary goal of a Teachout agreement is to ensure that students can continue their education with minimal disruption despite changes or closures within the higher education landscape.

Teachout FAQ
The Higher Learning Commission, with experience of multiple college closings over the past 10 years or so, has created what they call a Teach-Out Tool Kit. The procedures outlined are designed to make the transition as painless as possible for all the stakeholders.
A Teach-Out is a pre-designed, prearranged plan outlined by a College to provide enrolled students in good standing* with:
- Access to specific institutions that offer the specific program/major in which a student is presently enrolled.
- Certain assurances regarding credits, tuition, and proposed date of graduation.
- The opportunity to meet with staff from the specific “Teach-Out Receiving Institutions” for advising, admission, and next steps for the student.
If you are planning to attend one of the Teachout Institutions, please contact their admissions office to determine how they are receiving EGCC Transcripts. If you are transferring to a Non-Teachout institution, you can order your transcript through Parchment here: Transcript Request - EGCC
Please check back for any changes or updates to the transcript ordering process.
