State of California Student Tuition Recovery Fund
The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (SRTF) was established by the Legislature to protect any California resident who attends a private postsecondary institution from losing money if they prepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school closing, failing to live up to its enrollment agreement, or refusing to pay a court judgment.
To be eligible for STRF, you must be a "California resident" and reside in California at the time the enrollment agreement is signed. Students who are temporarily residing in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an education, specifically those who hold student visas, are not considered a "California resident".
To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within one (1) year of receiving notice from the Bureau that the school is closed. If you do not receive notice from the Bureau, you have four (4) years from the date of closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained you must file a STRF application within two (2) years of the final judgment.
It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, receipts, or any other information that documents the monies paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to:

Enrollees are advised and cautioned that state law requires this educational institution to maintain school and student records for no more than a five year period.
